Notes
- Cheese Choices Matter: Experiment with different cheeses like gouda or mozzarella for unique flavors. For an extra creamy texture, mix in a bit of cream cheese.
- Customize to Your Taste: Add your favorite vegetables or a handful of fresh spinach for more nutrients. Want to make it heartier? Include cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage.
- Add Flavor Boosts: Sprinkle garlic powder or paprika on top before baking for extra depth. Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can also provide a pop of color and flavor.
- Prevent Over-Browning: If the top starts browning too fast while the center is still cooking, cover it loosely with foil to ensure even baking.
- Check for Doneness: Insert a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, the casserole is done. A little movement is fine, as it will firm up while cooling.
- Let It Rest: Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes after baking. This step helps it hold its shape when you cut into it.
- Prep Ahead for Ease: Save time by preparing the vegetables and egg mixture the night before. This way, your morning is as easy as placing it in the oven.
