Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 8 ounces Fresh mushrooms
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 cups Bread cubes (day-old bread preferred)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of olive oil or cooking spray.
Chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they're tender and any excess liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture, stir to coat, and let sit for 5 minutes so the bread absorbs some of the liquid.
Fold the cooked mushroom mixture and shredded cheddar cheese into the bread and egg mixture. Mix gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with additional cheese if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
