- 4 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced

- In a large nonreactive skillet, melt 5 tablespoons of the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned.

Spoon the stuffing into a buttered 9x13 glass or ceramic baking dish and dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
- Preheat the oven to 350F . Cover the stuffing with foil and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 30 minutes longer, or until the top is golden and crisp and the stuffing is firm. Let rest for a least 15 minutes before serving.
- Make Ahead: The stuuffing can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
