Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 lb (450 g) mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Sauté the mushrooms

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated.

2. Add the aromatics

  1. Stir in the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

3. Deglaze the pan

  1. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  2. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.

4. Make the creamy sauce

  1. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
  2. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and thyme. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and incorporate into the sauce.

5. Season and serve

  1. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over your choice of protein, pasta, or rice.

Notes

  • Customizations: Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
  • Vegan Option: Use plant-based butter, coconut milk or cashew cream, and omit the Parmesan cheese.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
