Ingredients
- 1 lb. loaf crusty style white bread
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 large garlic clove, minced

- 1 lb. assorted fresh mushrooms (such as cremini, button, Portobello, and stemmed shiitake), thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery

Return toasted bread cubes to same very large bowl.
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until soft and juices have evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add sautéed vegetables and parsley to bread cubes.
- Whisk heavy cream, eggs, salt, and ground pepper in large bowl. Mix custard into bread and vegetables. Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Sprinkle cheese over.
