Cook leeks on medium heat in 2 T. melted butter until they begin to soften. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add mushrooms, more butter salt and pepper and cook until the the mushrooms have softened and everything looks delicious. Put the mixture over the cubed bread in your pan(s).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
