Ingredients:

• 4 oz. chanterelle mushrooms (golden or white), cleaned and sliced ¼-inch thick

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat medium-sized sauté pan over medium heat.
2. Add mushrooms to dry pan and sweat out moisture for several minutes until almost dry again.
3. Add butter and thyme, then sauté for about 3-4 minutes until mushrooms begin to brown.

Serve on grilled bread with soft goat cheese or add to an omelet with gruyere.
