Notes

• For a lower fat option, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, though the texture will be slightly lighter.
• Feel free to add other herbs like dill or basil for additional flavor variations.
• This casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
• Ensure eggs are fully cooked through to maintain food safety.
