Ingredients

• 500 g Button mushrooms
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 150 g Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp towel and slice them evenly.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 5

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the cream thickens slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and mix until it melts into the creamy mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the mushroom mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Top the mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it out to fully cover the surface.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 11

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the Cheesy Mushroom Bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
