   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart glass rectangular pan with 1 tablespoon butter.

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the heavy cream. Season with salt, cayenne, pepper, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.

5. 5

   Add the onion-mushroom mixture and bread cubes. Mix well. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan.
