CAN YOU FREEZE EGG CASSEROLE?

One of the best things about this meal is that you can make it and freeze it for later! In fact, it can be frozen for up to 2-months before needing to be eaten. Once frozen, you will want to thaw the egg casserole overnight in the refrigerator. After it has thawed, place in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-minutes to reheat. 

Keep in mind that freezing it means it won’t taste as delicious as it did when you first baked it. So, if you would like to have that fresh-baked casserole, you can freeze the mixture without cooking it. Then when you are ready to eat it, just cook it in the oven after defrosting it.
