Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms
- ¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
Seasonings:
- ¾ teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Grab a small baking dish and coat it lightly with cooking spray at 375°F to prepare your workspace.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound sliced mushrooms and ¾ teaspoon seasoning salt, sautéing until mushrooms release their moisture and turn tender.
- Pour 2 tablespoons whipping cream into the skillet with 1 teaspoon dried parsley and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Distribute ¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese across the top of the mushroom mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 375°F oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese transforms into a golden, bubbling blanket.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Your creamy, cheesy mushroom bake is ready to be enjoyed hot.
Notes
- Select cremini or shiitake mushrooms for a richer, deeper flavor profile that elevates the entire dish.
- Drain excess moisture from mushrooms carefully to prevent a watery final result and ensure a thick, creamy consistency.
- Use freshly grated mozzarella for better melting and a smoother texture compared to pre-shredded cheese.
- For a low-carb version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and serve alongside roasted vegetables instead of bread.
