Baked Mushroom Squares

"DH went wild from the aroma as he waited for this to come out of the oven. I wish I could say that I dreamed it up but the credit goes to Myra Sable and Colleen Mathieu from Toronto and is from the "Sable and Rosenfeld Cookbook: Our Favorite Recipes". I served it with a dollop of greek yogurt as a side to roast beef but they suggest serving it as a side to cabbage rolls or as a main dish garnished with sour cream and chives. I used a mixture of mushrooms, but I'd imagine ever-available and dependable button mushrooms would be just wonderful too. Also, I used 1/2 and 1/2 rather than milk and cream - use what you have in your fridge. Outstanding!"
