Hongos con Queso (Mushrooms with Melted Cheese)


1 T. canola oil
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1/2 pound thinly sliced white button or exotic mushrooms
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/4 t. salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese


Preheat oven to 375°

Brush a shallow 9 inch gratin or ovenproof dish or pie plate with oil. Don't
use cooking spray.

In medium skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook
until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix
well. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are tender and all moisture has
evaporated, 4 minutes.

Spread mushrooms evenly in prepared dish. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake
until cheese is melted and bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes.

Serve at once with warm tortillas or chips.

Serves 4 as an appetizer.
