Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 2 cups ham, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, ensuring the mixture doesn’t brown.
Slowly whisk in the milk and cream, making sure there are no lumps. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Swiss cheese until melted and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, diced ham, thawed peas, and cheese sauce. Stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Ham Noodle and Swiss Cheese Casserole!
