Ingredients

• 8 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 8 ounces Fresh mushrooms
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 cups Bread cubes (day-old bread preferred)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they're tender and any excess liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture, stir to coat, and let sit for 5 minutes so the bread absorbs some of the liquid.

Step 6

Fold the cooked mushroom mixture and shredded cheddar cheese into the bread and egg mixture. Mix gently to combine.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with additional cheese if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
