1/2 cup of heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 2-quart casserole with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk the milk, cream, eggs, sour cream, garlic powder and onion powder together, except omit onion powder if using the onion topping. Add in the softened cream cheese and whisk until smooth; set aside.
