Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Button mushrooms | 1 lb |
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Dried thyme | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/2 cup |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Unsalted butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Bread crumbs | 1/2 cup (for topping, optional) |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | For garnish (optional) |
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the mushrooms: In a large bowl, toss together the sliced mushrooms, olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until the mushrooms are evenly coated.
- Assemble the casserole: Spread the mushroom mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the mushrooms.
- Add the cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the top of the casserole, ensuring that most of the cheese and mushrooms are covered.
- Top with breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the bread crumbs until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
- Bake until golden: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
- Broil for extra crispiness: For an extra crispy topping, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Serve and garnish: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before sprinkling with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
