This make a very yummy quick and pretty light meal. I countered the butter with fat free milk and sour cream. Loved the small pinch of nutmeg and boy did it ever perfume when it hit the hot pan :D. Didn't have canned mushrooms at hand so I just sautéed some fresh cremini. Thanks for the recipe share Char
