1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add sliced mushrooms in a single layer; cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side.
Stir and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are tender and browned.
Reduce heat to medium; add garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Optional: stir in butter for extra richness. Remove from heat and use immediately or store.

Spread the topping over pizza before baking, or add as a finishing touch after baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
