👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure the dish is well-greased to prevent sticking. - 2
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and their liquid has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Remove mushrooms to a bowl.
- 3
Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Whisking the eggs and cream well ensures a smooth binding agent for the casserole. - 5
Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared casserole dish. Top with the sautéed mushrooms and onion mixture. Add another layer of potatoes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Arranging the potato slices slightly overlapping helps create a cohesive base. - 6
Pour the cream and egg mixture evenly over the layers. Ensure it seeps down through the potatoes and mushrooms.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Pouring slowly helps distribute the liquid evenly. - 7
Cover the casserole dish loosely with foil. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- 8
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top, and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the casserole is bubbling.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Baking uncovered allows the cheese to brown nicely. - 9
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
💡 Consigli Professionali
