Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted and bubbly.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Pour in the white wine and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated, stirring occasionally to deglaze the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook and thicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over your favorite pasta, rice, or as a side to meat or vegetables.
