To avoid sogginess, always pre-cook your proteins and vegetables. Feel free to personalize the recipe with additional vegetables or different cheeses. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days; reheat in the oven for the best texture. This casserole can be made ahead of time, making it perfect for brunches or busy mornings. Just assemble the night before and bake in the morning!
