Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of wild mushrooms instead of just button mushrooms. You can substitute the butter with olive oil for a healthier option. If you prefer a different cheese, mozzarella or feta can work well too. To enhance the flavor, add minced garlic or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme along with the Italian seasoning.

Frequently Asked Questions
