Hints: I almost never let it sit overnight in the frig. I just don't think that far ahead. I usually cook some kind of sweet bread (like a cinnamon loaf, coffee cake or muffins) at the same time. I then cook both at 350 degrees. In my oven the breakfast pie still takes an hour to cook. I also make two pies at the same time (mixing the ingredients separately). Whether your family will eat through two pies at one sitting or you just want to have the leftovers for breakfast, cooking two pies works for us!

(Here's a reheated leftover - good to eat any time of the day!)
