100 g of oyster mushrooms (optional)
35 g of butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
150 g of white onion (finely chopped)

300 g of whole grain baguette (cut into cubes of 1 cm × 1 cm)

INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, preheat the oven to 190–195 °C and prepare a baking dish (20 cm × 30 cm).
2
Then, in a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
3
Meanwhile, chop the pre-soaked mushrooms and oyster mushrooms into smaller pieces. Once the pan is hot, add the finely chopped onion, chopped mushrooms, crushed caraway seeds, salt, and pepper, and sauté everything together over medium heat for 6–7 minutes.
4
Transfer the sautéed mixture to a large bowl along with the diced whole grain baguette, 2 egg yolks, and 100 ml of milk.
5
Transfer the egg whites to a tall mixing container, and using a hand blender with a whisk attachment, whip them into stiff peaks (this will take about 3–4 minutes). Slowly fold the whipped egg whites into the bowl with the other ingredients.
6
Transfer the prepared mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the filled dish into the oven preheated to 190–195 °C and bake for 33–36 minutes.
7
After baking, cut the mushroom bake into portions and serve.
