Ingredients

1 pound Cremini baby bella mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter vegan as desired
1 tablespoon olive oil*
2 cloves garlic finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh thyme other fresh herbs work well here as well!
Optional squeeze of lemon juice as desired

Instructions

Start by thoroughly rinsing the mushrooms under water. Pat dry and then cut into thin slices (about ¼ inch thick). If you buy pre washed and sliced mushrooms, you can skip this step.
1 pound Cremini
In a large skillet, combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add in the sliced mushrooms with a good pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Around this time, you’ll end up with a decent bit of excess moisture in the pan from the mushrooms and this is okay.
2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil*, Salt and pepper to taste
Add in the garlic and herbs, stir, and cook for an additional 3-4 more minutes. Most of the moisture from the mushrooms should have evaporated but if not, you can drain it off. Garnish with additional herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, and ENJOY!
2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, Optional squeeze of lemon juice as desired

Notes

*you could sub the olive oil for an equal amount of additional butter or vice versa

You can also cook the mushrooms whole OR simply sliced in half. They may just need a few more minutes of cook time to get to your desired doneness.
