- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and cheese will give your casserole the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the casserole tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and set in the center: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, sour cream, and avocado.
