How to Make Mushroom Casserole Zhulien

Preheat your broiler to high.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, toss half of the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of flour.
Add the floured mushrooms to the skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened and they release their liquid (about 3-4 minutes).
Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a medium bowl. Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining butter, flour, and mushrooms.
Return the skillet to medium-low heat.
Add both batches of sautéed mushrooms and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream and cook until heated through (2-3 minutes).
Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a 4-cup heatproof baking dish.
Sprinkle the top evenly with grated Gruyere cheese.
Broil the casserole until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned (3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning).
Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
