This sounds great. I was wondering if you could prepare it the night before and then cook in the morning? thanks

I’ve semi-prepped it the night before and then baked it the next morning. I do everything but pur the eggs on. that is, cook everything and assemble in the dish except for the eggs and conver it with foil or plastic wrap.

I prep the eggs and keep it in a covered bowl. the next morning, I whisk the eggs again, pour over the other ingredients, add salt and pepper, and bake. comes out perfect every time;-)
