  • Milk: 400 milliliters / 13.52 fluid ounces
  • Sausages: 2, sliced
  • Mozzarella cheese: 100 grams / 3.52 ounces, grated

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, Provencal herbs, and sweet paprika.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a greased baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until slightly tender.

2. Prepare the Eggs:

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:

  • In a pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped red bell pepper to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.

4. Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, forming a roux.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. Assemble the Casserole:

  • Take the partially baked potatoes out of the oven.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  • Layer the sautéed vegetables and sliced sausages on top of the potatoes.
  • Pour the prepared sauce over the entire casserole.
  • Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on top.

6. Bake:

  • Return the casserole to the oven and bake at 180°C (350°F) for another 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

7. Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
  • Serve the casserole hot and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors.
