6. Bake:
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you like a crispy top, you can broil the casserole for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end.
7. Garnish and Serve:
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
Slice and serve the casserole warm. It’s great on its own or paired with a side salad.
Tips for Success:
Customizable Fillings: Feel free to swap out the vegetables or protein based on what you have on hand. You can use mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, or any other veggie you love. For the protein, try adding turkey sausage, ground beef, or even a meatless option like black beans.
Make Ahead: This casserole can be prepared ahead of time. Simply assemble everything, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight. When ready to bake, just pop it into the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Cheese Variations: You can experiment with different cheeses such as Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack for extra flavor.
Spicy Kick: Add a few dashes of hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or jalapeños if you like a bit of spice.
