- 1Heat the butter in a wide pan over medium-high heat until foaming.
- 2Add the quartered mushrooms in a single layer, resist stirring for 2–3 minutes to let them brown deeply.
- 3Add garlic and thyme, cook 1 minute more.
- 4Splash in the cream, let it bubble and cling to the mushrooms for 30 seconds.
- 5Season well and pile onto hot toasted sourdough.
Deep browning is the flavor here — don't rush the first sear by stirring too early.
