📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a thin layer of olive oil or non-stick spray.

2. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

4. Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, making sure no lumps form. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.

5. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.

6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, milk mixture, crumbled feta, 1.5 cups of the shredded Muenster cheese, Parmesan cheese, and beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.

7. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.

8. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded Muenster cheese over the top, followed by the bread crumbs.

9. Drizzle the bread crumbs with olive oil for added crispiness.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

11. Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes.

12. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
