Instructions:
- Heat the Pan:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and sizzling. - Cook the Mushrooms:

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. - Season and Finish:
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together to coat the mushrooms evenly in the garlic herb butter. - Garnish and Serve:
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the mushrooms with fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for pasta or toast.
