• Milk: Milk adds creaminess to the egg mixture and helps create a fluffy texture.
• Spices: Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika add depth of flavor to the casserole.
• Chives: Optional, but they add a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color to the finished dish.
• Hollandaise Sauce: A classic accompaniment to Eggs Benedict, Hollandaise sauce adds richness and a buttery flavor to the casserole.
