Garlic Butter Mushrooms
Garlic Butter Mushrooms are a quick, savory side dish with tender mushrooms cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced and the mushrooms are tender.
- Taste and adjust the salt or pepper if needed before serving warm.

Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan: Mushrooms release moisture as they cook, so use a large skillet to help them brown instead of steam.
- Let the mushrooms cook before adding garlic: Garlic can burn quickly, so add it after the mushrooms have softened and started to brown.
- Use dry white wine: A dry white wine works best because it adds flavor without making the mushrooms taste sweet.
- Cook off the wine: Let the wine simmer until it reduces so the sauce becomes more concentrated and buttery.
- Serve right away: These mushrooms are best warm, while the garlic butter sauce is still glossy and the mushrooms are tender.
