Funghi Gratinati (Mushrooms au Gratin)

Chop your onions as finely as possible. In a large pan melt your butter and then add your onions and saute over LOW heat for 15-20 minutes until onions are creamy, stirring as necessary.

Add in 2 spoons of water, increase the heat to med-high and add in your mushrooms. Cook mushrooms until they have released most of their water.

Once they’ve cooked down, lower the heat and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top of mushrooms, Add in the milk, lemon juice and season well with salt and pepper. Let cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often.

Preheat your broiler at this point. When the mushrooms are almost finished cooking, add in the parsley and enough breadcrumbs to lightly coat mushrooms. Transfer mushrooms to an oven-proof dish. Sprinkle top with cheese and place under broiler until cheese is bubbly!

Buon appetito!
