  5. Butter a mould, or individual small moulds, and coat with breadcrumbs. Fill the mould(s) with mushroom mix. Place the mould(s) in a water bath (bain marie) before baking.
  6. Bake until the top of the sformato turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. It will take about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove and cool for 15 minutes.
