Mushroom and Swiss Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 8 ounces of Swiss cheese, shredded
- 8 cups of cubed French bread
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion, and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture, and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 6 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed French bread with the mushroom and cheese sauce, and toss to coat the bread evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 2 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
