Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the remaining Butter-Pecan Maple Syrup – if you stored it in a mason jar like I did you can simply remove the lid then zap it in the microwave for a minute or so. Check the casserole around the 30 minute mark – if the top is browning too quickly, place the foil back on top and continue baking. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
