Preparation
- Step 1
Butter or oil an 8-inch souffle or baking dish, and put bread in it. Combine everything but shiitakes, and pour over bread. Submerge bread with a weighted plate, and turn oven to 350 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons butter or oil in a saute pan, add shiitakes and saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Remove plate, and stir in mushrooms. Bake until pudding is just set, 35 to 45 minutes.
