Cheesy Egg Casserole

Makes a great family breakfast brunch. You may make this one a day ahead and keep the casserole chilled in the refrigerator until ready to bake. It's especially nice to have this dish prepared and ready to place in the oven for those hectic, hurried holiday morning breakfasts. Recipe from Southern Living magazine, January 1986.
