Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams wide egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200 grams cooked ham
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 200 milliliters milk
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams grated Gruyère cheese
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the wide egg noodles until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Chop the cooked ham into small cubes.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir the chopped ham into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to heat it through. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Add the grated Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses, stirring to combine.
Add the cooked noodles to the cream mixture, followed by the ham and onion mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top for a crunchy topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling on top.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
