Ingredients
- 1 lb button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
