    • Eggs - 12 extra large eggs that are room temperature.
    • Heavy Cream - 1 cup of heavy cream. This is what makes the egg mixture so rich!
    • Cheddar Cheese - 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Shred your own for the best results (as it melts better than prepackaged shredded cheese). Alternatively, you can use colby or swiss, or a combination of any of them!
    • Salt - ¼ teaspoon of salt.
    • Garlic Powder - ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
    • Onion Powder - ¼ teaspoon of onion powder.
    • Nutmeg (optional) - A pinch of nutmeg.
    • Cream Cheese - 4 ounces of room temperature cream cheese that has been cut into cubes.
    • Bacon - ½ pound of bacon that has been cooked until crispy and then crumbled.

    3. Pour into the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and drop 4 ounces of cubed cream cheese evenly over the top.
    4. Bake. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, then sprinkle ½ pound of crumbled bacon and the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar over the top. Return to the oven and continue baking for 10-20 minutes, or until the center has set.
    5. Serve. Remove from the oven and garnish with optional 1-2 tablespoons of sliced chives, if desired. Serve immediately with freshly ground pepper.

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • This recipe tastes amazing as written, but you can easily customize it and trade out the bacon for sausage, ham, or a combination of them!
    • You can add your favorite ingredients to this casserole to truly make it your own! Try adding in some mushrooms, baby spinach, onions, hash browns, or anything else you might like!
    • Prepare this casserole the day before by making the egg mixture, pouring it into the baking dish, and topping it with the cubed cream cheese. Then, store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

    ❓ FAQ

    Why Is My Egg Breakfast Casserole Rubbery?

    If you have a breakfast casserole that seems to be rubbery, it is likely overcooked. Make sure to check your casserole in the oven and remove it as soon as the center is set. If poked with your finger, it should spring back.

    What Goes Good With Breakfast Casserole?

    The beauty of breakfast casseroles is how versatile they are! You can enjoy them alone or make a full breakfast lineup with toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, muffins, scones, bagels, and more!

    Can This Bacon Breakfast Casserole Be Made In Advance?

    Yes! This casserole is a great option for a quick and easy breakfast since you can prepare it ahead of time. Go ahead and follow the instructions as written, but don't put it into the oven yet. Instead, store it in the fridge for up to a day. When ready, just pop it in the oven and continue the recipe!
