Mushroom Julienne Recipe

Ingredients:

• Mushrooms: 400g (any variety, such as cremini or button), sliced
• Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
• Butter: 2 tablespoons
• Heavy Cream: 200ml (or sour cream for a tangy flavor)
• Cheese: 100g (such as Gruyère or mozzarella), grated
• Salt: to taste
• Pepper: to taste
• Fresh Parsley: for garnish (optional)
• Baking Dish: or individual ramekins for serving

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Vegetables:

   • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. Cook the Mushrooms:

   • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Add Cream:

   • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture is heated through. If it seems too thick, you can add a little water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

4. Prepare for Baking:

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • Transfer the mushroom mixture into a baking dish or individual ramekins.

5. Top with Cheese:

   • Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the mushroom mixture.

6. Bake:

   • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or as a side dish.

Tips:

• For added flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or dill to the mushroom mixture.
• You can also incorporate cooked chicken or ham for a heartier dish.
