Ingredients

• 450 g Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 120 ml Dry white wine
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them into thick slices, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir to coat them in the butter and oil mixture.

Step 6

Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces by half.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Mix well to combine.

Step 9

Sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate and let the mixture simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish, or use it as a topping for grilled steak, pasta, or toasted bread.
