Notes

Storage & Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing
This freezes well!  After baking, cut individual pieces and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to two months.  Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight, and then reheat in the morning.  You can reheat it in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.
Make Ahead
You can prep this egg bake casserole the day before by assembling it up to baking.  Cover it and store it in the fridge until ready to bake.  I'd only make it one day ahead of time.  When you are ready to eat, follow the baking instructions.
