Hello! I’ve made this so many times and it’s so delicious! Do you think if would be okay to make it in muffin pan, so that way you can get egg muffins and it could be easier to store it too? I’m starting Whole30 on April 1st! 🙂
Hi Tasha – Happy to hear that you’ve made this many times! You could definitely make this into muffins. I suggest using muffin liners or really oiling the muffin pan well to prevent sticking. Also, you can cut the baking time down to about 20 minutes (checking around 15-20 to pull them out when fully cooked in the middle). Enjoy!
Thank you so much!! And how about freezing it as well? So I can just grab it on the go😊
Yes, you can freeze it.
Can this be made the night before and kept overnight in the fridge?
Yes, you can absolutely pre-make this. Just watch the cooking time if you are putting it into the oven cold from the refrigerator, it might take some extra time to cook completely through.
Winner, winner, breakfast for dinner! This was a great dinner and will make a great breakfast for the next couple of days.
So glad you guys enjoyed this one! Thanks for taking the time to post a pic on IG and come here to review the recipe as well! So grateful for you! 🙂
Looks delicious. Just wondering what size casserole dish you used. 10 x 13?
Ours is 9 x 13. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
This was so good! It will be a new weekend staple in our house. I may have to plan on making two next time since there weren’t many leftovers.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe! We love this one too.
Hi! I’m looking into trying Whole 30, I had gastric bypass 2 yrs ago therefore not doing it for weight loss but to help with process of elimination to maintain and improve health, I still need to be mindful of my protein intake, so my question is How much is the serving size that would carry 20g of protein? Thank you!
Hi there – we based the nutrition facts on 8 servings. So, if you cut the casserole into 8 pieces, 1 piece would equate to the nutritional serving calculation. Hope this helps.
Thank you! ?
Made this for breakfast this morning and it was a hit! The recipe was so easy to follow. The only change I made was use 1 tbsp sage rather than 2 since I was using dried sage. My husband isn’t a big fan of eggs and thinks most recipes “need more meat” but he went back for seconds and had no complaints! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes, thank you!
That’s great! Glad your husband approved 🙂
