How to Make Baked Cheese and Egg Casserole Recipe
  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray for easy release.
  2. Whisk eggs: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk 8 large eggs with 1 cup milk until pale yellow and frothy.
  3. Season mixture: Stir in 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, chopped onions, bell peppers, and fresh herbs.
  4. Add cheese: Gently fold in 2 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella, reserving a handful for the top.
  5. Assemble casserole: Pour the seasoned egg-cheese mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface.
  6. Bake until set: Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is puffed and golden brown.
  7. Rest and garnish: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing; sprinkle with extra fresh herbs.
