This delicious casserole combines tender shrimp and gooey cheese for a flavorful brunch that's both comforting and easy to prepare ahead of time. Perfect for busy mornings or entertaining guests without the stress.
Start by buttering an 8x8-inch casserole dish. Then, spread the remaining butter lightly on each slice of bread and cut them in half diagonally. Place half of the bread pieces in the bottom of the dish, and sprinkle over half of the Swiss cheese, green onions, parsley, and shrimp. Repeat these layers with the rest of the bread, cheese, onions, parsley, and shrimp.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole. Cover it up and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can.
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for about 30 to 40 minutes, until it’s puffed up and golden on top. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
- Make sure to thaw and drain the shrimp well to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
- Use a sharp knife to chop ingredients evenly for consistent cooking.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
This dish is perfect for busy mornings because you can prepare it ahead of time and simply bake it when ready. The combination of shrimp and cheese creates a rich, satisfying flavor that feels special but is easy to make. It’s a great way to impress guests or enjoy a stress-free weekend brunch.
Serve with a simple green salad or fresh fruit to balance the richness of the casserole. A side of crusty bread or toasted English muffins also pairs nicely. For a refreshing touch, add a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or iced tea.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in the oven at a low temperature until heated through. This casserole also freezes well; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
