Materials

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 oz white mushrooms sliced
  • 5 slices bacon cooked, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • teaspoon salt
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  • In a big skillet, warm up the olive oil over medium heat. Sliced mushrooms should be added and cooked over medium heat for around three minutes, flipping once, without salting to ensure the mushrooms caramelize.
  • Chop the cooked bacon and add it to the skillet.
  • Incorporate rich, creamy sauce, ⅛ teaspoon of salt, and finely chopped fresh thyme. Bring to a boil, mix, then promptly lower the heat to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken for around two minutes. If necessary, taste and add additional salt.
