How Long to Bake Egg Casserole
Once the casserole is ready for the oven you are only 30 minutes away from enjoying this tasty breakfast!
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until the eggs are set and fluffy.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake until the cheese is evenly melted over the top of the casserole.
Once you remove it from the oven, let it set about 5 minutes before cutting it into slices or squares and serving.
Can You Freeze an Egg Baked Casserole?
You can certainly freeze your egg baked casserole, but be sure it is fully cooled before you do.
To Freeze: Line the casserole dish with aluminum foil and spray with pan release before baking. This way, after it is baked and cooled, you can take it out of the casserole dish, and cut and freeze in any portion size you like. Be sure to wrap tightly and label for easier identification.
To Thaw & Reheat: Let it come to room temperature and reheat at 30-second intervals in the microwave, being careful not to over-cook. Feel free to freshen up the flavors with some extra salt and pepper, melted cheese, or even some homemade salsa!
