Mushroom Squares or Muffins
Pairs well with Compton Pinot Gris
4 heaping cups of sliced mushrooms (bite-size pieces)
1 cup baking mix (or 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, ½ tsp. salt)
½ cup grated parmesan, plus more for top
2 or 3 tsp. Garlic Lover’s Garlic* or your favorite garlic spice mix (salt free) to taste
Salt to taste (3/4 tsp. or less)
Pepper to taste
4 eggs, beaten
¼ cup olive oil
Mix dry ingredients including cheese in large bowl; mix egg and oil in small bowl; add egg mixture to dry ingredients and mix; add mushrooms and mix. Dump and spread into greased 8 x 8 inch pan. It will be very thick — it’s almost all mushroom. Sprinkle more cheese on top. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 12 squares. Serve warm.
Note: These are even better re-heated. Re-heat the cut portions on a sheet pan in oven or toaster oven. All the sides get nice and brown this way.
Note: You can also make these in a muffin tin. Baking time would be less.
*Garlic Lover’s Garlic is made by Oregon Flavor Rack in Eugene.
