    3      pounds        mushrooms, Oysters,Shiitake,Chantrelles -- sliced
    1      pound         onion , -- thinly sliced
    3                    eggs
    3      cups          heavy cream
      1/4  cup           molasses
    1      cup           grated Parmesan cheese
    1      pound         white bread, torn into -- 1-inch pieces

    1      tablespoon    unsalted butter
      1/4  cup           dry bread crumbs
 
 Heat oil in a large saute pan, add the mushrooms and cook over medium heat for
12 minutes,
 allowing for the juices to cook out and the mushrooms to get soft. Remove them
for the pan, add
 the onions to the same pan and cook , over medium heat until they are brown and
sweet , about 15
 minutes. It may be necessary to add a couple of tablespoons of water in the
beginning of the
 cooking to get the onions to cook without burning. In a large bowl, beat the
eggs until they loosen
 up. Add the cream and molasses, stir to incorporate. Add the mushrooms, onions,
3/4 cup of the
 cheese, and bread. Mix well to completely coat. Season highly with the salt and
pepper. Let this
 mixture sit for 1 hour. Coat the inside of a 2 quart casserole dish with the
butter. Dust with the
 bread crumbs. Preheat the oven to 325. After an hour, stir the mixture and pour
into the prepared
 dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake
for 50 to 60 minutes.
