Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Add the shredded cheese. Fold with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake the casserole on middle rack of oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.

Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Cut the casserole into squares, or simply spoon onto plates.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Temper Your Eggs First 🥚
Let eggs and milk sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before whisking to ensure even cooking and a creamy, custard-like texture throughout the casserole.
Use a Water Bath for Perfection 💧
Place your casserole dish in a larger pan filled with hot water while baking to create gentle, even heat that prevents rubbery edges and ensures a silky center.
Don't Skip the Cheese Layer 🧀
Reserve a handful of cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top 10 minutes before the casserole finishes baking for a golden, melted crust without burning the bottom.
Test for Doneness Correctly ⏱️
Insert a knife in the center—it should come out clean or with just a slight wobble in the very middle, as carryover cooking will set the rest as it cools.
Let It Rest Before Serving 🍽️
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven so it sets properly and slices cleanly without falling apart on the plate.
