Preparation
Step 1
Choose firm, fresh mushrooms - preferably small champignons, which can be cooked whole. You can use cream of any fat content: the higher the fat, the richer the flavor. You can also dilute heavy cream with water. Use any cheese you like - its flavor and meltability will affect the sauce texture.
Step 2
Peel and rinse the onion under cold water, then finely chop it. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little vegetable oil (olive oil works too), and sauté the onion for a couple of minutes until translucent.
Step 3
Rinse the fresh mushrooms thoroughly. Small mushrooms can be left whole; large ones should be cut into 2-6 pieces. Don’t cut them too small - they shrink during cooking. Add the mushrooms to the onions, mix well, cover with a lid, and cook for 6-8 minutes over low heat.
Step 4
During this time, the mushrooms will reduce in size.
Step 5
Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour, stir, and fry for about 1 minute. The flour will coat the mushrooms evenly and later help the sauce cling nicely to each piece.
Step 6
Pour in warm cream, add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, and heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the mushrooms with grated cheese and add a little butter. Let everything melt and combine into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Step 8
Mushrooms in creamy cheese sauce are ready! Remove the skillet from the stove and serve immediately as a side or a warm dish. Enjoy!
