    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1 5-ounce tube of 3-inch-diameter refrigerator biscuits
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
12 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps sliced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
1 14 1/2-ounce can vegetable broth
1/2 cup Madeira

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven and bake biscuits according to package directions.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until brown and soft, about 6 minutes. Add flour and thyme and stir 1 minute. Whisk in broth, then Madeira. Boil until mixture thickens to gravy consistency, whisking occasionally, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Split or cut open 4 biscuits (save remaining biscuit for another time; can be reheated). Place 4 biscuit halves on each of 2 plates. Spoon gravy over.
