Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chicken, onions, and cheese. This will soak into the layers and bake into a fluffy, custardy texture.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- Check for doneness—the top should be golden brown and the egg mixture fully set.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let the bake rest for 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
- Slice into portions and serve warm.
Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- Gruyère cheese gives a more authentic French onion flavor if you want a richer taste.
- Make-ahead option: Assemble the dish the night before and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning for an effortless breakfast.
