Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the wide egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the onions and mushrooms. Mince the garlic.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until softened and browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Fold the cooked noodles and the caramelized onion-mushroom mixture into the egg mixture until evenly combined.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
