   • Transfer the mixture to a 12×7-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

4. Prepare the Topping:

   • Cover the dish and refrigerate it overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together.
   • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Uncover the baking dish and bake the Fancy Egg Scramble in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is heated through.
