Notes

  • For extra flavor, add diced cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the mixture.
  • Use fresh green onions if available, but scallions can be substituted.
  • For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
  • This casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking to save time.
