Advance preparation

Prepare the casserole until you are ready to bake it. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 1-2 days or freeze for 2-3 months. When you’re ready for breakfast, bake according to instructions.

Another time-saving trick is to freeze in small portions. Instead of one baking dish, use multiple ramekins. Reduce baking time accordingly.
