Directions
1. Heat the Pan
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil until hot and shimmering.
2. Sauté Mushrooms
Add sliced mushrooms and cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
3. Add Garlic & Herbs
Add minced garlic and thyme. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Deglaze with Wine
Pour in red wine and, if using, balsamic vinegar. Stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer 3–5 minutes until wine is reduced by about half and coats the mushrooms in a silky sauce.
5. Season & Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
