# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's a one-dish breakfast that feeds a crowd without making you feel like you've been cooking for hours.
  • The combination of crispy cheese edges and tender vegetables is honestly addictive.
  • You can prep it the night before and just slide it in the oven—perfect for when you want to impress without the panic.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time; it sounds like a small thing, but those 5 minutes help the eggs finish setting and make slicing actually possible instead of a crumbly disaster.
  • Taste your egg mixture before pouring it in—that's your only chance to fix the seasoning, and underseasons casserole is sad casserole.
03 -
  • Use sharp cheddar instead of mild—the flavor difference is real, and it browns more beautifully under the broiler.
  • Don't cut up your vegetables too small; medium dice means they stay tender but still feel substantial in every bite.
