Step 4: Make the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
-
Eggs
-
Milk
-
Flour
-
Salt
-
Black pepper
-
Garlic powder
-
Onion powder
Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layers.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing — this helps it set properly.
