Recipe for Mushroom Business?

Hi Ann from CA. Presently, I'm in Modesto, CA :) I don't know if this is the same recipe as Peg Bracken's, but I found this on the RecipZaar site: www.recipezaar.com/32085 I hope this helps.

ann:

here is the direct recipe from the book:

saute 1/2 to 1 pound of fresh mushrooms, coarsely sliced, in butter, just enough so they start to smell like mushrooms. (don't peel them or wash them in water before you do this; just wipe them with a damp rag.)

butter three slices of white bread, cut them in 1-inch squares, and put them in a casserole dish.

combine the mushrooms with
1/2 cup each of mayonnaise
chopped onion 3/4 teaspoon salt
chopped celery 1/4 teaspoon pepper
chopped green pepper
and put it on the bread squares.

now cut three more slices of buttered bread the same way. put them in next, and pour over it 2 eggs slightly beaten with 11/2 cups of milk.

it doesn't matter when you do this --- the morning before, if you like ---- just so it's refrigerated at least one hour.

finally, an hour before you want to serve it, spoon a can of undiluted mushroom soup over it, and two more slices of bread, diced smaller. bake it at 300 for 60 to 70 minutes, or 325 for 50-60 minutes. about 10 minutes before it's done, sprinkle some grated yellow cheese on top.

6-8 servings

Ann, here is the recipe from Peg's book. Sauté 1/2 to 1 lb. of fresh mushrooms, coarsely sliced, in butter, just enough so they start to smell like mushrooms. (Don't peel them or wash them in water before you do this; just wipe them with a damp rag.)
Butter 3 slices of white bread, cut them in 1" squares, and put them in a casserole dish.
Combine the mushrooms with: 1/2 cup each of chopped onion, mayonnaise, 3/4 tsp. salt, chopped celery, chopped green pepper, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and put it on the bread squares.
Now cut 3 more slices of buttered bread the same way. Put them in next, and over it pour 2 eggs slightly beaten with 1-1/2 cups milk.
It doesn't matter when you do this - the morning before, if you like - just so it's refrigerated at least one hour.
