Onion and Wild Mushroom Au Gratin


2 T. butter
2 T. olive oil
2 large shallots, peeled and chopped (about ¼ cup)
1 tsp. dried thyme
4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced

In a large skillet, heat butter and oil; sauté shallots and thyme for 3-5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the onions, sage, cream, salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish. (Can be made a day ahead up to this point, then refrigerated).
