# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is this incredible cross between cornbread and pudding, creamy enough to eat with a spoon but substantial enough to hold its shape on your plate
  • It comes together in literally five minutes flat, using stuff you probably already have in your pantry
  • Everyone from picky toddlers to suspicious in-laws asks for seconds
02 -
  • The casserole continues to cook slightly as it rests, so pulling it out when it's just barely set prevents drying out
  • Adding cheese during the last 10 minutes creates the most incredible bubbly, golden crust
  • This dish freezes beautifully if you want to make it ahead for big events
03 -
  • Let your eggs sit on the counter for 20 minutes before starting, they blend much better into the cold sour cream
  • A little extra butter brushed on top during the last five minutes creates the most gorgeous golden finish
