Method

  1. Preheat the broiler.

  2. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat.

  3. Stir occasionally and cook 8 ounces of button mushrooms, sliced ½ thick, until they are lightly browned, which should take around 2 minutes.

  4. Add in 1 large shallot, finely chopped, and 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped. Continue cooking and stirring often until they start to soften, approximately 1 minute.

  5. Pour in ¼ cup of dry white wine and continue cooking while scraping up any browned bits until the liquid has evaporated, which should take around 2 minutes.

  6. Add 2 cups of heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of thyme leaves, ½ teaspoon of Diamond Crystal salt or ¼ teaspoon of Morton kosher salt, and season generously with freshly ground pepper.

  7. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer and stir in 1 cup of finely grated Parmesan until well combined.
