Instructions

Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 4–5 minutes until golden-brown.
Stir and continue to sauté for another 3–4 minutes until tender and browned.
Reduce heat to medium and add garlic and thyme, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Optional: Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar or white wine, scraping up browned bits.
Stir in remaining tablespoon of butter and cook for 1 more minute until mushrooms are glossy.
Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Use a mix of mushrooms like shiitake or portobello for added flavor.

Add lemon juice for brightness or Parmesan for a savory twist.

Swap butter with plant-based options for a vegan version.

Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain texture.
