Ingredients
- 1 pound Cremini or Button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for a lighter option)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or rosemary/oregano)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: splash of white wine
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them evenly.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam.
- Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook the sliced mushrooms, stirring to coat them in the butter. Allow to sauté without stirring for 5-7 minutes until caramelized.
- Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until golden and tender.
- Serve warm as a side dish or over toast.
Notes
Avoid crowding the pan for proper caramelization. For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine after sautéing the mushrooms, letting it reduce before finishing.
