Ingredients

• 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 200 milliliters Whole milk
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and halve them if they're large. Set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and garlic, and mince the fresh dill.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, and stir well.

Step 8

Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped dill.

Step 9

Transfer the mushroom mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top, and if desired, add grated Parmesan for extra flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.
