1. 1

   In a skillet cook the mushrooms in 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened and most of the liquid they give off has evaporated.

2. 2

   Stir in the flour and cook the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes.

3. 3

   In each of six 1 1/2-cup gratin dishes layer the onions, the remaining butter, cut into bits, the mushroom mixture, and salt and pepper to taste, beginning and ending with a layer of onions, and pour 1 tablespoon of the cream over the top of each gratin.

4. 4

   In a small bowl combine well the Gruyere and the bread crumbs and sprinkle the mixture over the cream. (Alternatively, the gratin, layered in the same manner, may be prepared in one 2-quart gratin dish.) Bake the gratins in the middle of a preheated 325 deg.

5. 5

   F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are heated through.
