Tips & Variations

• Make it savory: skip honey/berries, add cooked bacon or spinach, and top with cheese.

• Meal prep: cut into portions, refrigerate up to 4 days.

• Extra fluff: fold in ¼ cup Greek yogurt for creamier texture.

• Gluten-free: oats are naturally gluten-free, just check packaging.

This is basically overnight oats meets quiche, but baked into a cozy, sliceable breakfast.

If you want, I can give a keto-friendly cottage cheese bake or a mini muffin version that’s perfect grab-and-go.
