Ingredients

mushrooms
300 g
unsalted butter
2 tbsp
heavy / thickened cream
1 cup
parmesan
0.5 cup
chicken or vegetable broth
0.5 cup
white wine or rose
0.3 cup
garlic cloves
2 clove
fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp
olive oil
0.5 tbsp
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 pinch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the olive oil and melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they are golden brown. Avoid stirring too often to allow them to develop a good sear.

Just before the mushrooms are fully browned, add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and golden.

Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits (fond) from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 1 minute or until the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Stir in the broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to medium so the sauce maintains a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil rapidly, as the cream may split.

Continue to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. It should be rich and glossy rather than overly thick.
