    • Melted butter
    • Sour cream
    • Beaten eggs

  5. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
  6. Optional: Add a layer of shredded cheddar during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy top.
  7. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish if desired.
