For enhanced flavor, try using brown butter to sauté the mushrooms and onions. Toasting the pecans separately in a dry skillet before adding them to the onions will bring out their nutty flavor even more. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish adds a bright, acidic counterpoint to the richness of the cheese and butter.
