Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups ham, diced
• 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Cook and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and grated parmesan cheese until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 9

Add the cooked egg noodles to the cheese and ham mixture, tossing to combine evenly.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
