This recipe is an excellent source of protein and choline, and a good source of vitamin A and folate.

Casseroles can be assembled the night before and refrigerated, covered. Increase baking time slightly.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
