Individual Portobello Muschroom Gratins

We happened to have two portobello mushrooms beginning to rot in our fridge, so I embarked to do something Martha-like with them before it was too late. Martha has only one portobello recipe in the New Classics: Individual Portobello Mushroom Gratins. I will elaborate briefly given the title is not so descriptive. The portobellos are baked in the oven for 25 minutes and then topped with a mixture of parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dry white wine, shallots, fresh herbs, and heavy cream. The recipe was simple and went off without a hitch. I was not a huge fan. It was a little too rich for my palette. Mike gave higher reviews, referring to the dish’s comfort food qualities. I think portobellos require no additional accoutrement and shines best when roasted on their own with a little oil and herbs.
