For a crispier top, you can broil the casserole for a few minutes after cooking. Be sure to keep a close eye on it to prevent burning!
Feel free to customize this casserole with your favorite vegetables! Mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini would all be delicious additions.
If you don't have almond milk on hand, you can substitute it with regular milk or cream.
This casserole is also great for meal prepping! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
