  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion or 2 shallots finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 oz 340 g mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or mixed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add onion (or shallots) and sauté 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
