Creamy Russian Mushroom Julienne is a rich and comforting baked dish featuring a blend of fresh mushrooms sautéed in butter, combined with garlic, onions, and heavy cream, then topped with melted Gruyère or Parmesan cheese. This classic Eastern European appetizer is perfect for mushroom lovers craving a warm, cheesy, and flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Mushroom Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh mixed mushrooms (button and cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère or Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add cream and simmer: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushroom mixture. Allow it to gently simmer for 5 minutes until the cream thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
  4. Combine cheese and seasoning: Stir in the grated Gruyère or Parmesan cheese, along with salt and pepper to taste, mixing until the cheese has melted and the mixture is well combined.
  5. Transfer and bake: Spoon the creamy mushroom mixture into individual ramekins or a single baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle additional cheese on top for a golden crust.
  6. Bake until golden: Place the ramekins or dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, optionally garnish with fresh dill, and serve hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a mixture of milk and cream.
  • Gruyère cheese melts well and gives a nutty flavor; Parmesan adds sharpness—choose based on preference.
  • You can prepare this dish in individual ramekins or a single baking dish for easy sharing.
  • Fresh dill adds a bright herbaceous note but is optional.
  • Ensure mushrooms are cooked until their moisture evaporates for a rich, concentrated flavor.
  • Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside main courses.
