  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Add cooked mushrooms to cheese mixture.
  • Pour mixture into an 8x8-inch prepared baking dish and evenly distribute ingredients.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Check for doneness. Edges should be set, and center not quite cooked.
  • Bake uncovered, if needed, for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until casserole is uniformly golden brown and middle is set.
  • Cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • To prevent the egg mixture from curdling, ensure sautéed mushrooms are cooled when adding them.   
  • Instead of baked ham, you can add cooked chicken to the cheese and mushroom mixture.
  • Parmesan cheese is an excellent substitute for Swiss cheese.   
  • Top with sour cream and fresh parsley to add a touch of creaminess and a burst of fresh flavor. 
  • Spraying the baking dish with cooking spray helps prevent the casserole from sticking and ensures easy cleanup. 
  • Add chopped spinach or green beans to the mixture for an extra boost of color, flavor, and nutrition.
