Mushroom Gratin Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Slice them thinly.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.

  3. 3

    Add Thyme

    Stir in the fresh thyme and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  5. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread half of the sautéed mushrooms. Pour half of the besciamella sauce over the mushrooms. Sprinkle half of the Grana Padano and Fontina cheeses. Repeat the layers with the remaining mushrooms, besciamella, and cheeses.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your mushroom gratin!
