Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine sliced mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the mushrooms evenly.
Spread the seasoned mushroom mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the mushrooms, creating a cheesy layer.
Pour the heavy cream evenly over the mushrooms and cheese, which will form a creamy sauce as it bakes.
In a separate bowl, combine melted butter with breadcrumbs, stirring until well mixed. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
For an extra crispy topping, broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For an added twist, try mixing in chopped spinach with the mushrooms before baking. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days; reheat to 165°F.
