Tasty, handy, and it freezes great;) It surprises me that you don't find more breakfast egg recipes where they mention freezing it.

Well, this is the casserole I always make for Christmas morning and other times of the year as well. We all love it! WE usually don't add the peppers but everything else is the same. I have always made it in the evening and let it soak in the fridge overnight. Then in the morning you just bake it! So easy. I didn't think about freezing it! I will try that next time I make it and make 2!
