Notes
You can hold out the meat to make this vegetarian.
Feel free to add any additional or alternate veggies of your choice.
Not sure if your eggs are fully set and cooked? Take the back of a spoon or fork and gently press the middle of the casserole. If you see egg mixture oozing through, it needs a little more time.
