Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them thinly and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. The olive oil helps to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the minced shallots to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and aromatic.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it brown.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Stir to coat them with the butter-oil mixture and sauté for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms should release their liquid and then start to brown as the liquid evaporates.
Add the thyme leaves, salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the white wine and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it has mostly evaporated.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the mushrooms.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and stir until melted for an added touch of richness.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a luxurious side dish or as an elegant topping for steak, chicken, or toasted bread.
