Preparation
Step 1
Brown the mushrooms. Melt half of the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the mushrooms and cook, flipping occasionally, until browned. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a clean plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and mushrooms, cooking until browned.
Step 2
Sauté the garlic. Return the previously cooked mushrooms to the pan, along with the garlic, thyme and red pepper flakes. Season the entire mixture generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 3
Simmer in wine. Add the white wine and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 additional minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wine has reduced by about half. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 4
Serve warm, topped with a sprinkling of freshly-grated Parmesan and an extra twist of black pepper, and enjoy!

Chef's notes
Clean the mushrooms properly. Wipe any dirt off of the mushrooms using a damp cloth or paper towel. Soaking them under running water can cause them to become too soggy.
Slice the mushrooms uniformly. Try your best to slice the mushrooms into uniformly-sized pieces so that they more or less cook evenly.
Avoid overcrowding. I recommend cooking the mushrooms in two batches so that each batch can fit in an even layer on the bottom of the pan, which will allow the mushrooms to properly brown instead of steam.
Maintain medium-high heat. It’s important to maintain pretty high heat in the pan so that any liquids can quickly boil off and the mushrooms can get right to browning.
Taste and season. Finally, as always, don’t forget to taste the mushrooms and add any additional seasonings needed before serving!
