Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 500 grams button mushrooms, sliced
• 1.5 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and any liquid released has evaporated.

Step 5

Stir the uncooked rice into the skillet with the mushrooms, cooking for 1-2 minutes to coat the rice in the flavors.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth and heavy cream into the skillet. Stir in the salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil, sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded cheddar evenly over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
