Oven-roasted mushrooms with crème fraîche

You could almost not get a simpler dish to make if you tried, but the subtle flavours will not be easily forgotten. I have served these mushrooms as a starter or a more luxurious salad.

Choose a variety of ordinary and wild mushrooms for an interesting taste.
