Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Take a large pot and add salted water to it. Place the potatoes in the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender, which will take around 20 minutes. Drain the water.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with butter and stir well to ensure they are coated. Add chicken stock, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, onion, sour cream, powdered milk, chives, tarragon, sea salt, sage, and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly.

  4. Fold in the egg until it is well incorporated. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

  5. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake until it turns brown and the eggs are set. This will take approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

  6. If you have refrigerated the casserole overnight, put the cold dish in the cold oven. Preheat the oven along with the casserole dish. Adjust the baking time so that the casserole remains in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes once the oven has reached 350 degrees.
