Brunch Egg and Cheese Casserole

I make a similar dish, it is English, Cottage Cheese Pancakes, I can't imagine this lasting more than a meal, it is light, remember there is very little flour in it. I use Light and Lively Cottage Cheese and serve it with Maple Syrup.

@mary2: Yes, you are correct. The servings would be quite small if you cut this dish into 20 squares. It's important to keep this in mind if you intend on serving this casserole as a main dish. You may want to make more than 1 serving per person in that case.

In order to get 20 servings from a 9X11 dish, the individual servings would be very small indeed.

Hello mary2, Thanks for the suggestion, yes Crafter many of these recipes are reader submitted and have larger serving sizes occasionally. You can easily halve this or even cut it down to a quarter of the size. Thank you all for the comments and suggestions.

The recipe states that it provides 20 servings, but it can easily be halved and is good the next day.
