- Milk can be substituted for heavy cream, however it will change the richness and texture of the casserole.
- You can prepare bacon any way you like. I have tips for cooking bacon in the oven here or cooking bacon in the microwave here.
- Leftover egg casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
