  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.

  • In a separate bowl, beat egg and milk until well incorporated. Stir in green onion, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture over cornbread and bake until the eggs become puffy and golden brown, about 20 minutes. 
  • Serve immediately.
  • Hack: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen, tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.
