These mushrooms develop a deep, caramelized crust by cooking undisturbed in a hot skillet before being finished in a pool of garlic butter and fresh thyme. They work as a side for steak, a topping for toast, or a quick addition to pasta and risotto.

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

-
Reduce the heat to medium and push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet. Add the butter and minced garlic to the empty side.
-
Toss the mushrooms through the melted butter and garlic, then stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant.
