Scalloped Portobello and Cauliflower
Recipe Summary & Steps
Here’s
a cauliflower-mushroom combo that will perk up dinner for you!
This is a Chicago
Tribune recipe that I have slightly adapted. The original calls for 6 tablespoons of
butter, plus more for coating the baking dish.
I substituted 2% milk for half-and-half, sharp yellow cheddar for white
cheddar cheese, and added cracked pepper to the dish.
