1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash and slice the mushrooms (8 oz). Add the mushrooms, olive oil (2 tbsp), and a pinch of salt and pepper to a deep skillet. Sauté the mushrooms until they have wilted and all the moisture in the skillet has evaporated.

   Step 4: While the beans and mushrooms are heating through, shred the mozzarella (4 oz). Keep the mixture in an oven-safe skillet, or transfer it to a casserole dish if your skillet is not oven-safe. Top with the mozzarella, cover with foil, and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

   Step 5: Once the cheese has melted, remove the foil, switch the oven to broil, and broil the skillet for a few minutes more to brown the cheese (watch closely, as browning can happen quickly with the broiler). Serve hot, with garlic bread for dipping!
