Add the mushrooms, thyme and salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the demiglace and simmer 5 minutes. Add the cream and reduce until lightly thickened. Correct seasoning. Cover with a round of buttered waxed paper and keep hot.
