Wipe the portabella mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth and remove the stems. If desired, use a spoon to carefully scrape out the gills for a milder flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the mushroom caps, gill side up.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then cover the skillet with a lid. Let the mushrooms cook for 5 minutes.
Flip the mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes, pressing them gently with a spatula to lightly sear them and release any excess water. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, garlic, and fresh thyme until the vinaigrette is smooth and emulsified.
Arrange the cooked mushrooms on a serving platter, gill side up. Drizzle the Dijon vinaigrette evenly over the mushrooms.
Top each mushroom with shavings of Asiago cheese and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a light main course.
