You can fully assemble the entire casserole the night before. This way it is ready to bake in the morning. You can place it in the oven while the oven is preheating, just make sure to take of 5 to 7 minutes off the baking time
Or you can take it out the refrigerator and let is sit on the counter while the oven preheats. Then transfer it to the oven while you finish getting ready.

- Transfer the baking dish in the oven on the center rack. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until eggs are cooked
- When the casserole is completely baked, add the remainder of the blueberries to the top of your casserole. Then cut strawberries in half and add to the top
