MUSHROOMS IN CREAM AND SHERRY HERB CRUST

Steps:

• To make the herb crust, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Gruy ere cheese, parsley, basil and thyme. Blend and set aside.
• Cut away and discard the stems of all the mushrooms. Cut all the mushroom caps into fairly large bite-size pieces. They will shrink as they cook.
• Heat the butter in a skillet and add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates. The cooking time should be five to eight minutes. Scrape the mushrooms into a bowl and set aside.
• To the skillet add the Madeira, Sherry, cream, salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat about 10 minutes or until the sauce is reduced to about one-half cup.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high.
• Add the mushrooms to the cream sauce and blend. Spoon and scrape the mixture into a heat-proof serving dish. Cover with the herb and crumb mixture.
• Run the dish under the broiler and broil until the crust is nicely browned. Garnish, if desired, with sprigs of fresh parsley or fresh coriander leaves.
