For an extra kick, consider adding 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños to the cheese and egg mixture. To prevent the corn chips from burning, you can tent the casserole dish with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, to customize the flavor to your liking. This dish is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
