Ingredients

1 pound cremini mushrooms
3 TBSP unsalted butter
3 cloves fresh garlic peeled and minced
½ tsp fine sea salt or kosher salt
¼ tsp dried thyme or ½-1 tsp fresh thyme
⅛ freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (vegetarian or regular)

OPTIONAL GARNISH

1 TBSP fresh chopped parsley
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (spicy)

Instructions

Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and cut into quarters.
Heat a large skillet (cast iron or stainless steel work best here) to medium-high heat and add 1 TBSP butter
Add mushrooms, stir until lightly coated with butter,l then leave them for 4 minutes without touching/moving.
Once the bottom side of the mushrooms are nice and golden stir them up and cook for an additional 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. During the final minute, add remaining butter, minced garlic and spices: ½ tsp salt, ⅛ tsp pepper, and dried or fresh thyme. Saute until both the mushrooms/garlic are tender and fragrant.
Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, 2 -3 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan until melted and remove from heat.
Feel free to give it a little taste test and add any additional salt/pepper/thyme desired. Crushed red pepper flakes can be added for a spicy kick and extra parm is always welcome if you'd like!
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve. Enjoy!
