Why This Recipe Works
Simmering the mushrooms in broth before adding the butter and cream prevents them from becoming oily.
The mushrooms can be served as a sauce or a side dish; the recipe is very versatile.
It can be used with any type of mushroom.
Step By Step Instructions
First, make sure the mushrooms are rinsed well. Mushrooms tend to be dirty straight out of the package.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the mushrooms and beef broth. Let the mushrooms cook until 75% of the liquid has been absorbed.
Add the brandy and thyme and cook about 1-2 minutes.
Then add the cream and simmer 1-2 minutes, until it has thickened.
Add the butter, salt and pepper and stir until butter is melted and coats the mushrooms. Serve over meat, chicken, rice, pasta or just on it's own as a side dish.

Freezing Instructions
Yes! To freeze, place the sauce in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge over night.To reheat, place in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Add additional broth and/or cream to thin out the sauce.
