Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Garlic Mushrooms
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once sizzling, add 8 ounces of sliced button and cremini mushrooms. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
  2. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid browning the garlic.
  3. Pour in ½ cup of beef or chicken stock, scraping up any bits stuck to the skillet. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Lower heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, ½ cup of grated Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and serve immediately as a luxurious side dish.
