Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2
Butter one side of each slice of bread and cut them into triangles.
3
In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Arrange half of the bread triangles in a greased baking dish, buttered side up.
5
Sprinkle half of the sautéed mushrooms and half of the grated cheese over the bread.
6
Repeat the layers with the remaining bread, mushrooms, and cheese.
7
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
8
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread and let it soak for 10 minutes.
9
Sprinkle the top with a bit more cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
10
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
