2 cups milk
1/2 cup cream
thick slice of onion
1 clove garlic
1 bay leaf
1 cup porcini mushrooms (about 1 oz)
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup grated parmesian
1 tsp salt(I didn’t use this much)
pepper
Gently wash mushrooms without getting them wetter than necessary.
Heat milk, cream, onion, garlic, bay leaf and mushrooms in saucepan until bubbles form. Set aside for 1 hour. Strain. Discard all solids except mushrooms. Rinse mushrooms. Chop them. You will use ½ cup. Set aside the remainder for another use.
Butter custard or pot de creme cups. Use ¼ cup cheese to coat. Beat eggs and yolks. Add milk, cream, chopped mushrooms, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup of grated cheese. Bake in water bath at 350 degrees for aprox 25 minutes.
