 I need some help with this recipe
I needed a low-carb brunch dish for today, so I made this up. I mixed it up (except for the parmesan cheese) and chilled it until I baked it this morning. I used pre-sliced button and baby portabella mushrooms because I was in a hurry. It was very tasty and I was asked for the recipe by a number of people.
The finished product substituted 8 oz. cream cheese for the sour cream and had 1.5 cups half and half. It was kind of juicy. A friend suggested I chop the mushrooms instead of using sliced ones, reduce the half and half, substitute sour cream for cream cheese, and let it rest before serving. This version, which makes 25 servings, has 5 carbs per serving.
Please take a look and let me know how I can reduce the amount of moisture. Thanks in advance for your help!
