Ingredients:

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Onions:
Begin by peeling the onions and slicing them very thinly to ensure they cook evenly. This will help achieve the desired tenderness and flavor in the casserole. -
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the casserole. -
Layer the Ingredients:
Grease a shallow 2 1/2-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking. Arrange the sliced onions in the dish, ensuring they form an even layer. Then, place a layer of Swiss cheese over the onions. For the best results, you should layer the onions and Swiss cheese only once. This helps in achieving a balanced flavor throughout the casserole. -
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, salt, and Tabasco sauce. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and well-blended. Then, add the eggs and beat again until everything is thoroughly mixed. This mixture will help bind the ingredients together and give the casserole its rich, creamy texture. -
Assemble and Bake:
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onions and cheese in the casserole dish. The liquid should cover the ingredients completely, ensuring that every layer is coated. -
Bake:
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The casserole is done when it is set and the top is golden brown. If using a 9×13″ Pyrex dish, you might need to adjust the baking time slightly, so keep an eye on it. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect as a side or a light main course, and it pairs wonderfully with a variety of meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
