Ingredients

4 tbsp olive oil
1 lb small button mushrooms
3 tbsp butter, divided
2 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
½ tbsp lemon juice *Note 1
salt, to taste
optional garnish: parsley

Instructions

Pre-heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil once hot.
Add the mushrooms, cap side down and let them caramelize for approx. 5 minutes. Do not move them during this process. You may have to do this in multiple batches to avoid overlapping the mushrooms. (*Note 2)
Once caramelized, toss and cook for another 5 minutes. (*Note 3)
Add 2 tbsp butter and toss to coat. Cook for 5 minutes until browned.
Add the garlic, thyme and salt and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the rest of the butter and lemon juice. Toss and cook for 1 minute.
Transfer to a serving platter and top with salt (to taste) and parsley.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1 - You can replace with balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Note 2 - Don’t crowd the mushrooms. When mushrooms are packed too tightly in the pan, they release steam instead of roasting. Cook in batches if needed for that perfect golden-brown sear.

Note 3 - Larger mushrooms will take a few extra minutes to cook through; just keep an eye on them and stir occasionally.
