Herbed Mushroom Spoon Bread

Spoon bread is a lovely hybrid of a dish, claiming the middle ground between cornbread and soufflé. It’s also wonderfully versatile in that it can be eaten at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, either as a side dish or a main course. This is a great recipe for adventurous cooks. Try it with different varieties of mushrooms—creminis, portobellos, or even truffles if you’re feeling flush. Each brings its distinct flavor to the dish.
