In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Pour over the casserole and sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate overnight. Bake in a 325° oven for 1 to 1 ¼ hours.

Top the cooked casserole with the Sour Cream Sauce and garnish with parsley or cherry tomatoes.

Sour Cream Onion Sauce: In a medium saucepan, cook the onion in the butter until soft, but not browned. Stir in the flour, cream, salt and pepper.

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until blended. Stir in the sour cream until heated thoroughly, but do not boil.
