Directions:Preheat oven to 350ºF, with rack in the middle. Bake bread cubes in one layer in a large shallow baking pan until golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Tear or cut mushrooms, lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Cook shallots in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about three minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until liquid mushrooms give off has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add parsley and garlic and cook, stirring, about two minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk together half and half, eggs, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in mushrooms and bread cubes until coated well and let stand for 10 minutes for bread to absorb some of the egg mixture. Meanwhile, butter a two quart shallow baking dish; spoon mixture in and bake about 30-35 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Server hot. |

Notes: Going beyond the customary side dishes for beef (mushrooms and a gratin), this dish combines the luxurious flavor of wild mushrooms sautéed in cream with good buttered toast, giving every guest a perfect mix of crisp, golden surface, and warm melting interior.
Bread cubes can be baked one day ahead and cooled, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Pudding can be assembled (but not baked) two hours ahead and chilled, covered.
