Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms are golden.
Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes to toast the rice lightly.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then turn off the heat.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top.
Return the skillet to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mushroom Rice Baked!
