Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the mushrooms in a bit of garlic before layering them. You can substitute the bread crumbs with crushed crackers or panko for a different texture. If you're looking for a vegetarian twist, you could incorporate some sautéed spinach or add a layer of grated cheese between the mushroom layers.
