Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 8 Ounces Mushrooms Sliced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 Cup Dry Sherry
  • 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • Salt and Pepper As per taste

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 6–8 minutes until browned and their liquid is mostly gone.
  2. Stir in garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let simmer for 3–4 minutes to reduce.

  5. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme if using. Taste, adjust, and serve warm.
