Stuffed Mushroom Casserole
- 1 ounce, weight Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grated With A Microplane, Divided
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 whole Large Stalks Celery, Finely Diced
- 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/8 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 whole Bay Leaf
- 1/2 pounds Button Mushrooms (or Any Kind You Like), Thinly Sliced
- 4 whole Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Minced Fresh Rosemary
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Minced Fresh Thyme
- 1/2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 whole Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 4 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar, Shredded, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, Diced (plus More To Grease The Pan)
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F; lightly grease 4 individual-sized gratin dishes with butter (or use an 8 by 8-inch pan). (I prefer using individual-sized dishes; they make serving and reheating easier.)
- Transfer 2 tablespoons of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano to a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the celery and cook 3 minutes, then add the onion, salt, pepper, and bay leaf and saute 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until all the veggies are tender and the mushrooms are browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes more; cool slightly.
- Stir together the veggie mixture with the breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, the larger portion of Parmigiano-Reggiano, and half the cheddar in a large bowl. Divide the stuffing mixture between the 4 prepared gratin dishes. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and the reserved 2 tablespoons of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses on top and dot on the butter.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown in places on top, about 10 to 15 minutes. (Broil it for a couple minutes if you want it to have more color.)
- Serving suggestion: Serve topped with a fried egg, alongside a green salad.
