Test Kitchen Tips

“Delicious enough for the weekend, fast and easy enough for school days,” culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a. NicoleMcMom) says of this easy breakfast casserole. Here are some of her best tips and tricks for making the perfect grab-and-go breakfast: 

Though this recipe calls for a 9x13 baking dish, Nicole prefers a thicker casserole — so she opted for a smaller casserole dish. 

Since this isn’t a custardy egg casserole, it makes a great make-ahead breakfast. Just cut the completely cooled casserole into squares and wrap each one in storage wrap. When you’re ready to eat, just pop one serving out of the fridge and zap it in the microwave to warm it back up.

How to Store Egg Casserole

Store leftover egg casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave until the casserole is heated through.

Can You Freeze Egg Casserole?

Yes! If you plan to freeze the egg casserole, go ahead and bake it in a foil baking dish. Wrap the whole thing in one layer of storage wrap, then one layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to three months.
