  4. Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until the sides start to set and cook.
  5. Sprinkle the green onions and remaining cheese over the top and return to oven and bake 15-20 minute longer, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and cut into desired portions.
