Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish using butter or nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish.

Step 8

Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
