• Sauce: Sauté onions in 1 spoon of butter and 1 spoon of olive oil. When onions are glossy add cut mushrooms. Cook for 2 minutes or until mushrooms start loosing a little water.

Then turn the stove off and let mushrooms cool in pan. In a small glass, mix about 1-2 table spoons of sour cream, half and half (about double the amount of sour cream), and 1-2 teaspoons of flour. Mix very well, until the mixture is smooth and there are no flour granules. Pour into cooled sautéed mushrooms and mix well. If there is not enough sauce you can always add more half and half, sour cream and flour to thicken (but do not add flour if the sauce is hot). Optional: add some wine. Start heating the mixture on very low heat while grating in a little bit of cheese of choice (I used muenster), then turn up the heat and keep stirring.
