- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and shallots until moisture evaporates (5-7 minutes). Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
