  4. Pour into a lightly greased 8x8” baking dish. Cover tightly with foil or a lid and refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours).

  5. In the morning, preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until center is set and top is lightly golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
