Georgian All-in-One Baked Mushrooms with Mozzarella Cheese

The Georgian all-in-one baked mushrooms are the dinner of the set, built in one pan and served in the dish they bake in: an onion softened in 40 g of foaming butter, 700 g of sliced champignons salted right away — salt pulls their water out now, and ten minutes on the heat cooks it off until the pile halves and the pan runs dry — then 300 g of ham in strips for ten more. Everything tips into one dish under 150 g of mozzarella and bakes 15 minutes at 180 °C, purely for the top. In Georgia it would be a ketsi under sulguni; mozzarella stretches the same way, and the browned cheese edge runs the whole rim. Serves 3.
