  • Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat until butter is melted; add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour white wine into the pan and simmer until wine is mostly evaporated, scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in cream, chicken broth, and cheese; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened but doesn't boil, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
