Wild mushroom, leek and gruyere cheese brioche pudding with a chive butter sauce - help me recreate

[sharond101]

Had an amazing dinner last night despite not really liking many of the main ingredients (not fond of cheese, eggs or butter!) It was so soft and tasty. It had only a few mushrooms and leeks. Any suggestions on how to cook??

Something like this? Only substitute the crusty bread for brioche.

Sounds yummy

Sounds amazing. Placemarking, I hope some recipes pour in!

Tell us more about it OP, was the texture like an ordinary bread and butter pud? If so I'd probably approach it by slicing brioche, sautéing leeks and mushrooms in butter and layering them with the brioche in a buttered baking dish or ramequin, then beat say two eggs ( this will really depend on size of your dish!) with a salt and pepper and maybe a pinch of mustard, hack the grated gruyere and a splash if cream and pour over then sprinkle rest of gruyere on top and bake for 15-20 mins in a medium oven. That is just a wild guess btw!

Here's two with brioche! Overly excited about food as I'm dieting

Though I'm afraid you'll have to do conversions.

For the chive butter sauce, I'd do something a bit like a hollandaise without the lemon and snip in chives and swirl in cream then season.

It was most like the Martha Stewart one I reckon. It was like the brioche had been cut into cubes and the other ingredients bound it together. It was lovely and soft and the taste was amazing.
