Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound button mushrooms
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté your chopped onions until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in sliced mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cook your mushroom mixture until moisture evaporates and mushrooms soften, approximately 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, blend ½ cup softened cream cheese with ½ cup sour cream until smooth. Fold in 1 cup cheddar and ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
- Season your cheese mixture with salt and pepper, stirring thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking dish with remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
- Spread the sautéed mushroom mixture evenly across the bottom of your prepared dish.
- Carefully distribute the cheese blend over the mushrooms, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle ½ cup breadcrumbs across the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the surface turns golden brown and cheese becomes bubbling hot.
- Remove from oven and rest for 3-4 minutes before serving your creamy mushroom casserole.
Notes
- Let mushrooms release their moisture completely to prevent a watery casserole and concentrate their rich, earthy flavor.
- Choose fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture and deepest taste in the dish.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers to maintain the crispy topping.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like gruyère or fontina to create unique flavor profiles that complement the mushrooms’ natural taste.
