To prepare this recipe, you will need:
- ½ loaf of stale bread,
- 5 eggs,
- 300 ml of milk,
- 100 g bacon,
- 250 g mushrooms,
- 80 g sera cheddar,
- 1 small onion,
- 2 cloves of garlic,
- 2 handfuls of fresh spinach,
- a pinch of nutmeg,
- salt, pepper (to taste),
- clarified butter (for frying).
Cut the stale bread into cubes of about 2 cm. Combine eggs and milk in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Put the sliced bread into the bowl with the liquid. Leave for about half an hour. Stir occasionally. The bread should be soaked in liquid.
Cut the bacon into strips. Wash the mushrooms and chop them finely. Grate the cheddar using the large holes of a box grater. Chop the peeled onion and garlic cloves.
Fry the bacon in a pan. If necessary, add a little clarified butter to the fat that has rendered it. Add the onion to the pan. When it becomes translucent, add garlic and chopped spinach leaves. Fry until the spinach wilts.
In a separate pan (or in the same pan, after removing the fried ingredients), fry the mushrooms in clarified butter. Fry until most of the water has evaporated from the mushrooms. At the end, season them with salt and pepper. Combine the mushrooms with the rest of the stuffing.
Mix the filling into the soaked bread. Also add grated cheddar to the mixture.
Grease and sprinkle with breadcrumbs a 25-30 cm long cake tin. Pour the mixture into the cake tin.
Place the cake tin on the middle level of the oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for about 45 minutes. If the surface of the casserole is browning too much, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil.
After baking the bread casserole, wait before cutting it until all the ingredients are well combined.
