Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
1 1/3 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 loaf crusty Italian bread, cubed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering baking dish
2 shallots, sliced
4 pounds mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
3 tablespoons chopped chives
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves

4 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more to top

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

On a sheet pan put cubed bread. Toast it in the oven until golden brown, about 5
minutes.

In a large saute pan melt the butter and saute the shallots until just wilted. Add
the mushrooms and saute until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and
reserve.

In a large bowl make custard, whisk together the cream with the eggs and season
with the salt and pepper.

Add toasted bread cubes along with the chives, thyme and rosemary to the egg
mixture. Stir in the sauteed mushrooms and mix in the grated Parmesan.

Transfer the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, top with more grated Parmesan,
to taste.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is
set.
