Julienne with sour cream

Cookinero 19 Sep 2025

Julien is sometimes mistakenly considered a French dish, although in fact it is a hot Soviet appetizer. Classic julienne with mushrooms and sour cream is cooked in the oven in cocotte makers. These are portion molds, thanks to which a small amount of the dish can be divided among all guests at once.

Julienne with sour cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute champignons with cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms for a deeper flavor. Just ensure they are sliced thinly for even cooking.
For a gluten-free option, use cornstarch or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Mix it with a little cold water first to avoid lumps before adding to the sauce.
Yes! Assemble the julienne up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving, adding a few extra minutes if chilled.
The recipe is already vegetarian, but you can enhance it by using a plant-based sour cream and cheese substitute for a vegan version.
Pair julienne with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for a balanced meal. It also works well as an appetizer.
Freezing is not recommended, as the sour cream sauce may separate upon thawing. For best quality, enjoy fresh or refrigerate for short-term storage.
Halve or quarter the ingredients for smaller portions. Use individual ramekins for easy scaling and even baking.
A melty cheese like Gruyère, mozzarella, or a sharp cheddar works well. Grate it finely for even melting and a golden crust.
