Ingredients

4 bacon strips

18 large eggs

1 cup 2% milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1 Make the bacon

2 In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain. Editor's Tip: Baking bacon in the oven alleviates the bacon grease mess on the stovetop. There are other ways to cook bacon as well, including in the microwave.

3 Combine the ingredients

4 Using a whisk, beat eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, cheese, sour cream, onions, salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.

5 Bake and serve

6 Pour the egg mixture into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it on top. Bake, uncovered, at 325°F until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the casserole stand for five minutes before serving.
