Egg Foo Young Casserole

Recently I went looking for this recipe here and couldn't find it. I think I never included it because it calls for dry milk powder. The first time I made it, I tried to find some substitution, but then I just started making it without it, and it seems fine. Akasha is wild for this recipe and will eat a stunning amount of it. It can also be made more hearty by adding some cooked chicken or pork.
