Can I make this recipe for Breakfast Casserole ahead of time?

Breakfast Casserole Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can freeze an uncooked egg casserole for up to 3 months before baking, but be aware that the texture of the crescent roll layer will be a little different.
The eggs in the breakfast casserole can become watery if overcooked due to weeping from water escaping eggs after cooking.
