Like a little taste of Paris in your own kitchen, Roasted Mushrooms with Gruyere is a dish where rustic comfort meets French elegance. Earthy, buttery, and irresistibly cheesy—this roasted mushroom dish with melted Gruyere cheese is pure comfort with a touch of elegance. The mushrooms are roasted until tender and caramelized, their deep, savory flavor perfectly balanced by the nutty richness of melted Gruyère. It’s a simple combination, but the result is luxuriously satisfying—whether served as a cozy appetizer, a hearty side, or the star of your table. It’s perfect for a dinner party starter or a quiet evening treat with a glass of wine.
This dish can be served as a stand alone vegetarian meal, or as a side dish to complement grilled meats like chicken or fish. It also makes a delicious topping for pasta or even sourdough toasts for a beautiful light meal.
You can make this dish with any mushroom variety you like best, but we normally use cremini because they are easy to find and easy to clean! We do our fair share of cooking with the morels that we find in the mountains of Idaho, but honestly, as delicious as they are, you can never really remove all of the dirt that’s packed into those little pockets of mushroomness!
This recipe calls for quartered or sliced mushrooms and either way they are fabulously delicious, but we usually do them quartered for a side dish, or sliced if using on top of steak or chicken. You can use more or less cheese as you please, and season the mushrooms wiht your favorite seasoning. Ours just happens to be our brand new Treks & Bites Lemon Pepper Paradise blend!
This dish may be the easiest and tastiest dish to complement any assortment of meat of vegetarian meals.
