Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 250 grams Button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute, then stir in the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are tender.
Remove the casings from the sausage (if applicable) and crumble the sausage into the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the thyme leaves, if using.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cooked sausage and mushroom mixture to the greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese on top.
Pour the cream and egg mixture evenly over the sausage and mushrooms. Gently shake the dish to ensure the liquid is distributed evenly.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy finish, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
