How to make Mushroom and Three-Cheese Strata

Preheat oven to 177°C. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.

Combine bread and milk in large bowl. Let stand until milk is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Whisk half cream and next 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Stir in goat cheese.

Place half of bread mixture in single layer in prepared glass baking dish (bread will not cover bottom of baking dish). Top with half each of mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, Fontina cheese, and half cream mixture. Repeat layering with remaining bread, mushrooms, Parmesan and Fontina cheeses, and half cream mixture. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Bake strata uncovered until firm in centre, puffed and golden, about 1 hour.
