Overnight Egg and Cheese Casserole Recipe

overnight egg and cheese casseroles in oven

I always make this yummy egg and cheese casserole for breakfast on Christmas morning along with many other foods that have become Christmas day traditions. It puffs up so beautifully in the oven.

It's a family favorite. My niece especially looks forward to it every Christmas morning. Many people have been asking for the recipe lately. I found out my husband has been doing a bit of bragging about our morning feast!!! This dish is very simple and is assembled the night before so you just pop it in the oven in the morning.

The recipe calls for bread. Sandwich loaf white bread works the best to create a light fluffy casserole. I use whole wheat white bread. Sara Lee makes one you can find in most grocery stores. It's more nutritious than plain old white bread and still works well.

Himalayan pink salt is my go to salt for it's tasty flavor. I like to use sharp cheddar cheese or a blend of sharp and mild cheddar cheeses for bold taste.

Egg and Cheese Casserole
A Christmas morning tradition at our house!

6 slices of bread
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
2 cups light cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Grease a 2 quart casserole dish that has a lid. Trim the crust off of the bread. Cube the bread into 1 inch cubes and set aside. In a medium bowl, beat eggs. Add cream, salt and pepper. Mix well. Place half of the bread cubes in the greased casserole dish. Top with 1 cup of cheese. Add other half of the bread cubes. Top with second 1 cup of cheese. Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the bread and cheese. Cut the butter into small pieces and dot over the top of the casserole. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered for 45-50 minutes until the top is light golden brown. Serve right away. Serves 6. Enjoy!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps. They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite. Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
