Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and start to brown, about 8–10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well.
Gradually add milk and cream, stirring continuously until sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer mushroom mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
