I’ve made this twice and it’s fantastic. I’m wondering how it would turn out with milk instead of cream (as I’m making this at a vacation house and trying to bring as few grocery items as possible). I’m sure it wouldn’t be as good, but would it be totally ruined?
It’s bland…need to add more salt. The food is presentable but taste wise is just bland…def need to add more salt or more spices so the food has the taste.
Has anyone tried freezing this?
Would it be best to freeze raw, partial bake, or bake it completely and just reheat after its thawed?
I haven’t tried freezing this casserole, but other breakfast casseroles I’ve frozen have worked just fine to bake it completely before freezing. I would worry about freezing it raw because it would be more likely to grow bacteria while thawing. A partial bake before freezing would probably be just fine, too, especially if you think it might dry out when reheated, but I think with eggs it will be best to bake it as much as you are comfortable with before freezing.
