Treat your ingredients with care...
- Mushrooms — Make sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before slicing. You can use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe off any dirt or debris. Avoid washing them under running water as mushrooms tend to absorb moisture.

- Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms to add depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- To make it more indulgent, sprinkle some breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
