This breakfast bake can be assembled the night before, covered, and stored in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply pop it into the oven. It’s an excellent time-saver for holidays or special occasions when you want to serve a hot, homemade breakfast with minimal fuss.
Add Extra Veggies:
Consider adding spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for added flavor and nutrition. Just be mindful of moisture—if adding veggies like tomatoes, lightly salt and drain them before adding them to avoid a soggy casserole.
Flavor Variations:
Southwestern Style: Add green chiles, black beans, and pepper jack cheese.
Italian Twist: Use Italian sausage, add basil, oregano, and a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Spicy Kick: For a spicy version, use hot sausage and a dash of hot sauce in the egg mixture.
Storage and Reheating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or cover the entire dish with foil and reheat in the oven at 300°F for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.
