These were thinnish in a 10×16 pan, but for some reason took longer than stated to bake. We added coffee and chocolate chips, and may try pecans and orange next time. They do need to be cut (or at least scored) before they cool, because the top crusts up and you’ll get a crumbly mess if you cut them afterward.

Smaller florets work better (and cook quicker) than larger ones. Fattier sour cream curdles less, unfortunately. If the mushroom slices are too small they will disappear; if that’s good, then make them smaller.
