Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs

Notes

  • Make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.
  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella or add Parmesan on top for a crispy finish.
  • Add vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra nutrition.
  • Use spicy sausage or red pepper flakes for added heat.
