Russian julienne with mushrooms in cream

2 servings

25 minutes

Russian julienne with mushrooms in cream is a refined dish that came from French cuisine but has become an integral part of Russian feasts. Tender champignons soaked in the aroma of butter and basil simmer in thick cream, acquiring a velvety texture. Light flour gives the sauce the necessary density, while a golden crust of melted cheese makes each piece incredibly appetizing. Served hot in individual cocottes, it pairs wonderfully with crispy baguette or soft white bread. Its rich creamy flavor with subtle mushroom notes brings comfort and warmth, while its simplicity of preparation makes it a favorite treat for festive and everyday evenings.
