Notes

This casserole is delicious on its own, but consider serving it with fresh fruit or a light salad. It pairs beautifully with a zesty vinaigrette or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top. You can also enjoy it with whole-grain toast for a comforting breakfast. For additional flavor, add spices like paprika or garlic powder to the egg mixture.
