Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make sauce with mushrooms and cheese? Very simple! Start by preparing the required ingredients according to the list. You can use frozen or fresh champignons. Rinse fresh mushrooms thoroughly. Place on a kitchen towel. It is important to dry the champignons well, otherwise, once saturated with moisture, they will become watery.

Step 2

Step 2
Do I need to clean champignons? It is enough to rinse small mushrooms well; it is better to clean larger ones by removing the films from the caps. Also cut off any darkened sections on the stems. Cut the mushrooms into small slices.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

Grate the cheese on a medium grater. It is best to use Dutch or Maasdam cheese for the sauce, but you can use any hard cheese with an interesting taste. You don’t have to add cheese to the sauce, but it makes it tastier. And the sauce turns out more viscous.

Finely chop the garlic or pass it through a press.
