Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb mushrooms
1/2 lb stilton cheese
2 large garlic cloves
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/3 c heavy cream
chunks of crusty whole-grain bread, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • 2. Trim mushrooms and halve if small or quarter if large. Crumble enough Stilton, not including rind, to measure about 1 cup. Force garlic through a garlic press.
  • 3. In a 9-inch heavy skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and saute mushrooms, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes.
  • 4. Stir in garlic and cream and gently boil until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Season mixture with salt and pepper and divide between 2 shallow 1-cup gratin dishes.
  • 5. Mushroom mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • 6. Top mushroom mixture with Stilton and on a baking sheet bake in middle of oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • 7. Serve mushrooms with bread for sopping up sauce.
