For an even richer flavor, consider using cremini or shiitake mushrooms instead of button mushrooms. To prevent the egg yolk from scrambling, ensure the heat is on low and stir the sauce frequently. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to thin it out. A dry hard apple cider may be used in lieu of the heavy cream for a more authentic flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a pop of color and aroma.
