Golden Cheese and Shrimp
Discovering Golden Cheese and Shrimp: A Classic Oven-Baked Recipe.
This oven-baked shrimp casserole combines tender shrimp with sharp cheddar cheese and buttery bread cubes for a comforting, golden-brown
meal that’s perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
The recipe calls for straightforward ingredients you might already have in your pantry.
Preparation is easy and hands-off. Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 2-quart baking dish, butter the
bread slices on both sides, and cut them into 1-inch squares. Layer half the bread, cheese, and shrimp in the dish, then repeat with
the remaining portions. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and seasonings, pour over the layers, and bake for 40 minutes until set.
Serve warm in a chafing dish for that extra touch of elegance.
What makes this dish stand out is its retro charm—evoking mid-century casseroles with a cheesy, custardy texture that pairs beautifully
with a side salad or steamed veggies.
It’s quick to assemble and bakes to perfection, making it an ideal weeknight option or potluck contribution.
