Chef’s tips: 

• If you are following a Whole30 or paleo diet, make sure the bacon you choose is Whole30 and paleo compliant.

• Store this egg casserole in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 5 days after it’s cooked.

Frequently asked questions: 

Can I make this into an overnight bacon egg casserole? 

Absolutely! To prepare this recipe the night ahead, assemble the casserole but don’t cook it. Cover it and leave it in the fridge overnight and then cook it when you are ready to serve. 

What is the difference between quiche and egg casserole?

A quiche is a pie made mainly of eggs and cream in a pastry crust. Other ingredients such as chopped meat or vegetables can be added before the quiche is baked, while an egg casserole does not have a crust and is a dish that’s baked in glass or earthenware, often with a lid which includes eggs mixed with other ingredients often including cheese, vegetables, meat and potatoes. 

Why is my egg casserole rubbery? 

If you over cook an egg casserole it will become rubbery so I recommend checking it a few minutes before you expect it to be done to ensure it doesn’t get overcooked. Your casserole can also become rubbery if you don’t add any liquid to the egg mixture which is why I add milk to this egg casserole recipe.
