Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 pound button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean your mushrooms gently with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water to keep their texture firm during cooking. Trim the stems if needed, then set them aside ready for sautéing.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, melt the butter in the pan, letting it gently foam without browning to preserve its silky smoothness.
  3. Sauté garlic and mushrooms: Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Then add the mushrooms, stirring to coat them evenly in the garlic butter mixture.
  4. Cook until tender: Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a golden sear, then toss occasionally until they are tender and browned all over, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Season and finish: Sprinkle in fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Finish with fresh parsley for a burst of brightness just before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for best texture and flavor.
  • Cook on medium heat to brown mushrooms slowly without burning garlic or butter.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
  • Use unsalted, fresh butter to enhance richness.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme and parsley keep the flavors vibrant.
  • To make vegan, substitute butter with vegan butter or extra olive oil.
  • You can add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese before serving for a cheesy upgrade.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooked mushrooms in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months and reheat gently in a skillet.
