Preparation
- Butter six half-cup ovenproof ramekins. Preheat oven to 350.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, add the mushrooms and saute over high heat until they are lightly browned. Set aside.
- Bring the milk and cream to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Remove it from the heat and add the cornmeal in a very thin stream, stirring constantly. Taking handfuls of the cornmeal and allowing it to stream into the pan from a slightly open fist is the best way. When all the cornmeal has been added, stir until the mixture is thickened and very smooth.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the sugar, sundried tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, chives and melted butter. Stir in the beaten eggs.
- Pour the mixture into the molds and set the molds in a pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the molds. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Unmold the timbales and serve them warm as a first course or to accompany roasted meats.
