What I love most about this recipe is that you can make it ahead of time. If you plan to serve it the next day, cover it with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350F. After that, remove the foil and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes more. Since it is cold, it will take more time to cook.

It is packed with all of your breakfast favorites and cheese! You have to try this recipe at home. I am sure everyone will love it.
