# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream, then incorporate grated cheddar and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly until smooth.
02 - Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a suitable baking dish evenly with unsalted butter.
03 - Spread the cleaned and sliced mushrooms uniformly across the base of the prepared baking dish.
04 - Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the mushrooms, ensuring full coverage.
05 - Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the cheese layer to create a crispy topping during baking.
06 - Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

# Extra Suggestions:
