Ingredient notes:

The ingredients for Baked Garlic Mushrooms on a grey bench.

Mushrooms: I've used white button mushrooms in this recipe. You could also use brown button mushrooms (known as cremini) or portobello mushrooms.
Garlic: For best results, use fresh garlic which has a stronger flavour than store-bought crushed garlic.
Thyme: The herb with little leaves that has big flavours. If you grow your own, feel free to use more.

Place the mushrooms into a large baking dish. Pour over olive oil, then add the diced garlic and thyme leaves. Mix to combine.

Place the cubes of butter evenly over the mushrooms. Sprinkle over the sea salt then bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
