This casserole can be made the night before, just cover and refrigerate. The next morning, uncover and bake as directed.
When using leftovers, make sure the food hasn't been left out too long. Don't use items that may have spoiled.
Feel free to use ramekins or muffin tins for small portions or to individualize each egg bake. For every 1 egg, I use approximately 1 tbsp milk and 1 tbsp shredded cheese.
The egg bake pictured above is from my big game party leftovers last night:
First layer - croutons from my chili bar
Second layer - beef chili
Third layer - hormel cream cheese dip along with tomatoes, red onions, scallions, black olives and shredded cheese leftover from the chili bar toppings
Fourth layer - eggs/milk/cheese
I layered it all in a casserole dish last night and baked it off this morning at 350 for 45 minutes. I topped it with sour cream, guacamole, tomatoes, scallions, cilantro then drizzled it with some enchilada sauce. I call it my Enchilada Chili Breakfast Bake. So many ways to make this egg bake without wasting your game day leftovers. I would love to hear your leftover egg bake combinations.
