For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or Madeira wine during the last few minutes of simmering. If you prefer a smoother gravy, use an immersion blender to blend the gravy until smooth before serving. Adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or thyme to taste. The type of mushroom used will influence the flavor of the gravy. Experiment with different varieties to find your favorite blend. Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
