A delightful and easy-to-make cheesy egg casserole perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Use a paper towel to evenly spread the butter.
Spread the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the bottom of the dish.
Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Dot the cheese layer with small pieces of butter.
This adds a rich flavor to the dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and half of the heavy cream until well combined.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer in the dish.
Pour slowly to avoid displacing the cheese.
Sprinkle ground pepper evenly over the top.
Adjust the amount of pepper to your taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooling helps the casserole set and makes it easier to slice.
