Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini or baby bella mushrooms
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 30 g Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary and slice them in half if they are large, keeping small mushrooms whole.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil until foaming.
Add the mushrooms in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to allow them to brown.
Toss the mushrooms gently and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
Lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic and thyme leaves. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to coat the mushrooms. Let it simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish, topping for toast, or accompaniment to grilled meats.
