Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. You can also assemble the night before and bake in the morning.

Can I freeze the casserole?

Yes. Freeze in slices wrapped well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven.

Is this recipe okay for picky eaters?

Definitely. Leave out the vegetables at first and add finely chopped or hidden veggies in later batches. Replace strong cheeses with milder ones if needed.

Can I use store-bought cooked sausage?

Yes. Pre-cooked sausage saves time. Slice or crumble and warm in a skillet briefly before layering.

How do I know when it is fully cooked?

The eggs should be set in the center. A knife inserted near the middle should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden and slightly puffed.
