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

Directions

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.

Somewhat disappointing
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It was too dry. If I were to make it over again, I would use less bread. The recipe calls for one loaf of french bread. The... flavor was good, but the consistency was off. I'm thinking that size of loaves vary and this would have been quite good if the balance was right. I'll probably try this again.Read more

Very Good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was different than I expected, but very good. Kind of an expensive dish, but worth it for a different spin for the... holidays!Read more

Recipe mistakes?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I watched the video of Tyler making this and it did not look like he had anywhere near 4 pounds of mushrooms. So I tried the... recipe with just 2-1/2 pounds and thought that was still a bit too much. By toasting the breadcrumbs it also made the dish a bit too dry. It had a nice flavor but if I were to make it again, I would only use 1-1/2 to 2 pounds of mushrooms and increase the amount of eggs and whipping cream used, or not bake the bread cubes beforehand.Read more
