Breakfast Casserole
I don't like eggs. I know, shocker! That said, this is one of my favorite things to make for breakfast or brunch. You can even make it the night before and keep it in the fridge. Yeah!

Step-by-step
- Mix all and place in well- greased 9x13 pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until center is set.
Standard ingredient lists omit how the inclusion of a small amount of flour and baking powder fundamentally alters a standard egg bake by creating a light, lift-filled structure rather than a dense, rubbery frittata. Whisking the all-purpose flour and baking powder thoroughly with the twelve eggs before adding the melted butter prevents pockets of raw flour from forming in the batter.
Managing Substitutions and Texture
The one pound of grated cheddar and pint of sour cream supply a high fat content that protects the eggs from over-coagulating during long heat exposure. Using lower-fat dairy products will release excess water into the baking dish, resulting in a watery perimeter and a curdled center. Ensure the baking dish is thoroughly greased to prevent the heavy cheese layer from bonding permanently to the metal surface during the fifty to sixty minute bake at 350 degrees.
- Replace pre-shredded cheese with freshly grated blocks to eliminate anti-caking starches that interfere with melting.
- Drain any exceptionally greasy breakfast meats on paper towels before mixing to keep the final fat ratio balanced.
- Test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should emerge clean when the structure has fully set.
