Is this an Egg Bake or an Egg Casserole?

This recipe is technically an “egg bake” which is what I call breakfast casseroles like this that have lots of protein, veggies, and cheese, and just enough egg to hold it together. But if you prefer more of a classic ham and egg casserole, you can definitely use a few more eggs.
