Ingredients:
- 1 onion π§
- 1/4 cup margarine π§
- 2 eggs π₯π₯
- 1/2 cup milk π₯
- 1 cup aged cheddar cheese π§
Instructions:
-
Saute the Onions: In a skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sautΓ© until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add in the milk and whisk until smooth and homogeneous. Now, gently fold in the shredded aged cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Finally, add the sautΓ©ed onions, incorporating them into the mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared egg and cheese mixture into the greased dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven, uncovered. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is beautifully golden brown, with a slight crispiness around the edges.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the Mushroom Casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Slice it into generous portions and plate up alongside your favorite brunch fare, or simply enjoy it as a standalone dish.
Pro Tips:
- For added texture and depth of flavor, consider incorporating sliced mushrooms into the sautΓ©ed onions.
- Experiment with different types of cheese to customize the dish to your taste preferences. Gouda, Swiss, or even a hint of blue cheese can lend their unique characteristics to this versatile casserole.
- To make this dish even heartier, toss in some diced cooked ham or crispy bacon before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through before serving.
