instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth, then slice them thinly.

    3

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    4

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and their moisture has evaporated.

    5

    Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Then pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

    6

    Transfer the mushroom mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly.

    7

    Grate the parmesan cheese over the top to create a delightful crust.

    8

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

    9

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
