Begin by cleaning the cremini mushrooms. Wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, for even cooking. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh thyme and parsley.
In a large skillet, melt the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble gently without browning, releasing that irresistible buttery aroma.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them to coat in the melted butter. Let them cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until they start to brown.
Once the mushrooms are golden brown, add the minced garlic and chopped fresh thyme. Stir to combine, allowing the garlic to cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving for a burst of color and freshness. Remove from heat and serve hot.
