Notes
- Beat the eggs well so that they become well incorporated into your dish
- Bake this dish in the center of your oven so that it bakes evenly.
- It is ok to leave out the onion if you have someone sensitive. Add a teaspoon or two of onion powder to replace the onion.
- This dish really needs the salt and pepper. You will likely need even more than I stated in the recipe.
- It is ok to substitute heavy cream for the sour cream, if that is what you have. If you use heavy cream instead of sour cream, you might have to bake the dish a few minutes longer.
- It is ok to substitute plain greek yogurt for the sour cream, but honestly, just use the sour cream.
- You can substitute Dijon or whole grain mustard for the yellow mustard.
- A word about cheese in this recipe. The kind of cheese is very important. You want cheese with a LOT of flavor. Please pick something like a Cabots or a “Helluva Good” cheese. Don’t skimp, it’s important.
- It is really important to spray your baking dish well with cooking spray before you start (or grease the dish, either way).
- Please use a good quality bacon. Something like a thick sliced, applewood smoked bacon is perfect!
- Feel free to use WAY more paprika!
