Instructions: Peel the garlic and blanch in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and repeat process 2 more times. Set garlic aside.

Lightly oil mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and grill or roast under a broiler until just cooked through. Coarsely chop, combine with chives and set aside.

In a blender or food processor add the garlic, eggs, cream, thyme, juniper berry, salt and pepper to taste and blend briefly to make a smooth mixture.

Lightly butter a 12-cup muffin pan and place one or two bread cubes in each cup. Divide the mushroom mixture evenly among each cup, sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese evenly on top and pour egg custard mixture over. Add as many bread cubes as will comfortably fit and top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.

Place filled muffin pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water in roasting pan to come 3/4 up the sides of the muffin pan.

Cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until custard is just set. Remove and allow to sit for 3 minutes before unmolding.

To serve: Carefully remove custards from pan and place in the center of warm plates. Ladle Smoked Tomato Jus around and garnish with grilled kale and additional grilled mushrooms, if using.
