Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium leek
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, washed, trimmed, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces ground chicken
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 large eggs
5 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 cups half and half
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
6 ounces hearty French bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
3 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add leek, mushrooms, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until vegetables have softened and are beginning to turn golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add chicken and cook until just cooked through, breaking up into pieces with wooden spoon, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let cool. Whisk eggs, yolks, and cornstarch in large bowl until homogenous and lump-free. Whisk in half and half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne. Add cooled chicken mixture, cheese, and bread cubes to milk mixture. Gently toss to combine. Pour into greased 3 quart casserole dish, cover, and let sit at least 2 hours or overnight. When ready to bake, adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350°F. Unwrap dish and bake until golden and center is just set, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.
