1️⃣ Can I make an egg bake the night before?

Yes! **Prepare everything**, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, just bake and serve!

2️⃣ Why does my egg bake deflate after baking?

Egg bakes **rise while baking** because of air trapped in the eggs. As it cools, it naturally deflates a bit. To prevent too much shrinkage, don’t over-whisk the eggs and avoid sudden temperature changes.

3️⃣ How do I make my egg bake fluffier?

Whisk **vigorously** to incorporate air, use **a mix of milk and cream**, and bake at **350°F** for even cooking.

4️⃣ Can I add raw veggies to an egg bake?

You can, but it's best to **sauté them first** to remove excess moisture and enhance flavor.

5️⃣ What’s the best cheese for an egg bake?

Cheddar, Gruyère, and feta are top choices. Use a mix for the best flavor!
