Reviews
“This is one of those recipes that there isn’t enough stars for! I am so glad I found this recipe and that MG posted it! It is very rich so I would suggest serving it with a salad and bread. I used oyster and shiitake mushrooms and I actually baked it 20 minutes longer than suggested as mine had not set in 55 min. I served it the following day after re-heating it in a 325 oven. This darkened the top a little extra but it was still outstandingand I am going to make it again this week, and probably the next, and the next!”
