Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh mushrooms (cremini, white button, or baby bella)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Trim stems if needed and slice larger mushrooms in half or quarters for even cooking.
- Heat the Pan
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
- Sauté the Mushrooms
- Add mushrooms in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Add Butter and Garlic
- Reduce heat to medium. Push mushrooms to one side of the pan and melt butter on the other side. Add minced garlic to the melted butter and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Combine and Season
- Mix the mushrooms with the garlic butter. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme or parsley. Add Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar for extra flavor if desired.
- Cook Until Tender
- Let the mushrooms cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and coated in the garlic butter sauce.
- Serve
- Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, and serve hot.
Notes
- Variations: Swap herbs (use rosemary or sage), add Parmesan cheese, or deglaze with white wine for a luxurious touch.
- Vegan Option: Replace butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, and ensure Worcestershire sauce is vegan.
- Avoid Soggy Mushrooms: Cook in a single layer and on high heat for a golden crust.
