500g (1 lb) button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and halved
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to bubble.
Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
