Notes

Feel free to mix different mushroom varieties for more complex flavors. You can make the components a day ahead to save time. Consider using a springform pan for cleaner edges and presentation. Leftovers taste better the next day; keep covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve warm with a side salad for a complete meal.
