Notes

This casserole is excellent for meal prep; bake it ahead of time and reheat individual servings throughout the week. You can also add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrients. For a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
