Can I make this ahead and put in the refrigerator overnight?
Has anyone tried this recipe recently? I’m planning on making it for a bridesmaid brunch and am a little nervous
I made this yesterday and it was a hit!! Everyone loved it and it was so good and very easy to make. I added sausage and bacon to it and that made it delicious!
This was amazing!!! Made it for my daughter’s birthday brunch. Since then have also made in muffin cups and frozen them for grab and go breakfasts.
I made this to take along and share for Easter breakfast at church. Wow, was it ever delicious!! I put it together the night before (to refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning) and was somewhat concerned that the avocados might discolor. I pushed the avocado pieces down into the egg mixture as best I could, sprinkled bacon bits all over the top of the casserole, and hoped for the best. The avocados stayed bright green and appetizing! I will be making this again and again. Thank you so much for sharing.
This looks terrific! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh.my.gosh. I am soooo going to make this tomorrow!! 🙂 Thanks!
This looks divine! Those avocados… yum! Thanks for sharing this great idea!
The casserole looks yummy! I’ve been debating whether to hard boil the eggs, blow them out or take my chances and dye the eggs raw. Reaching for colored eggs in the carton makes me so happy…
