Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced

Instructions

  1. Sauté the mushrooms. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are slightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Season with flavor. Add the garlic and soy sauce, then stir for another 30 seconds.
  3. Serve them up. Remove the sautéed mushrooms from the heat. Stir in the thyme before serving, and if you'd like, garnish with extra thyme sprigs.

Notes

  • If you don't want to use butter, swap it in for a bit more olive oil. Storing in the fridge: Leftover sautéed mushrooms will stay fresh for 3 to 4 days. Just note that they will soften over time.

  • For reheating: For the best texture, reheat them in a saute pan with a smidge of butter or olive oil. The microwave works too, but will make them extra soggy.
