Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh mixed mushrooms (button and cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy & Fats

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère or Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mixed mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and brown nicely, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until the cream thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
  4. Mix Cheese and Season: Stir in the grated Gruyère or Parmesan cheese along with salt and pepper to taste, mixing until the cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the creamy mushroom mixture into individual ramekins or a baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle some extra grated cheese on top for a golden crust.
  6. Bake: Place the ramekins or baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the dish is bubbly and the top is a golden brown color.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of your favorite mushrooms such as button, cremini, shiitake, or portobello for extra depth of flavor.
  • Fresh dill adds a nice herbal touch as a garnish but is optional.
  • Gruyère cheese provides a traditional nutty flavor, while Parmesan adds sharpness; feel free to blend or substitute depending on preference.
  • Serve as an appetizer or alongside meats and grains for a satisfying meal.
