Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

1. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or gently rinsing and patting dry.

2. Slice them into even pieces (halves or quarters if large).

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic

1. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.

2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let it burn).

Step 3: Cook the Mushrooms

1. Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).

2. Sprinkle with thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

3. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and turn golden brown.

Step 4: Deglaze the Pan

1. Pour in the white wine (or broth) and stir, scraping any browned bits from the pan.

2. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.

Step 5: Add Cheese & Finish

1. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms and stir until melted.

2. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice (if using).

3. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 6: Serve

• Serve hot as an appetizer with crusty bread, over pasta, or as a side dish with grilled meat.
