serves 8
Wild Mushroom Sformato
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons onion finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh garlic finely diced
8 cups Shiitake
wild mushrooms thinly sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons dried Thyme
1 egg
1 egg yolk
Kosher salt and freshly
cracked black pepper, to taste
8 (1/4 cup) ramekins, generously buttered
In a skillet sauté onion and garlic in butter over medium high heat for 2 minutes,
add sliced wild mushrooms and thyme. Continue cooking until softened. Remove from heat. When cooled mix in egg and egg yolk,
add seasoning and fill prepared ramekins.
Place in an ovenproof pan, add boiling water to the pan until it comes halfway up the sides
of the ramekins and bake sformato at 350° for 20 minutes, then remove
to a rack.
Easy
Garlic Cheese Cream Sauce
2 cups heavy whipping cream
5 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/4 cup Gouda cheese, grated
fresh herbs for garnish, optional (I used sage)
Put cream and crushed garlic cloves in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil,
when large bubbles appear or sauce coats the back of a spoon remove from heat, strain and discard
the garlic. Whisk in the grated cheese, taste for seasoning, add salt and white pepper if
necessary. (Sauce will thicken as it cools, if too thick add more cream).
Assemble
Spoon sauce onto
each plate. Run a sharp knife around each ramekin to loosen the
mushroom sformato; invert onto the sauce, add fresh herbs for garnish if
desired and serve.
