Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 16 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 2

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Step 4

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, mixing well to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the mushrooms and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Once the cheese is fully melted and bubbling, remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for steaks, burgers, or roasted chicken.
