Another idea is to create a topping bar that goes along with Green Chili Egg Casserole. Put the toppings like cinlantro, onions, pico de gallo, salsas and sour cream in small bowls and breakfast or brunch guests can add their favorites to their individual portions.
Make Individual Green Chili Egg Casseroles
Instead of baking Green Chili Egg Casserole in a 9×13 inch pan, you can divide the mixture into twelve portions and add them to a muffin tin for individual Green Chili Egg Casseroles! If you do this, you will want to cut the baking time from 40 minutes to 25 minutes and check them from that point on, until a fork inserted into the middle section comes out clean.
