Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups (1/2-inch) fresh bread cubes (preferably brioche or challah; about 5 ounces)
1 1/2 pounds mixed fresh wild mushrooms such as chanterelle, cremini, and oyster, trimmed
1/2 cup finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

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, 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

This bread pudding was a disaster. It was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I had to throw it away.

This bread pudding was a lot of work, and it didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I'll stick to my old bread pudding recipe.

This bread pudding was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

This was a great way to use up some leftover bread and wild mushrooms. I added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch, and it was delicious.
