01
Step 1
Start by buttering an 8x8-inch casserole dish. Then, spread the remaining butter on the bread slices and cut each one in half diagonally. Layer half of the bread pieces in the dish, then sprinkle half of the Swiss cheese, green onions, parsley, and shrimp over it. Repeat the layers with the rest of the bread and toppings.

Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole. Cover it and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight to let everything soak in.

Step 3
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 30 to 40 minutes, until it’s puffed up and golden on top. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

How to serve
Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a light green salad for balance. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives can add a nice touch. Pair it with a refreshing mimosa or freshly brewed coffee to complete your brunch.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the texture creamy and avoid drying out the shrimp. This dish also freezes well—wrap tightly and thaw overnight before reheating.
