Cheesy Green Chile Egg Casserole

March 16, 2020  •  Breakfast,

I love a simple baked egg casserole for brunch, and this one is easy, vegetarian, and quite tasty. If you’re planning a brunch, prep it the night before, cover with foil, and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove from the fridge about 30-60 minutes before you want to cook the casserole, then simply uncover and bake. Leftovers freeze if wrapped in plastic wrap.
