Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Shallot
- 500 grams Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel and trim the ends of the stems if needed. Slice the mushrooms evenly into approximately 1/4-inch slices.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and the shallot. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Add the minced garlic and shallot to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the shallot is softened.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Spread them in an even layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to allow them to brown slightly.
Stir the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and any released liquid has evaporated.
Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to coat the mushrooms evenly. Let it simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme leaves. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side or over pasta, rice, or toasted bread for a hearty main dish.
