This breakfast casserole includes savory ham, rich eggs, ooey-gooey cheese, and green onion to add freshness. This dish is especially great for utilizing leftover glazed ham from holiday meals, but you can also use a ham steak or meat from the deli.

Sometimes, you have to switch things up in the morning to keep things interesting. We’re all guilty of hitting the snooze button and sticking to the same routine day after day. But let me tell you, this recipe is a game-changer! It’s quick, easy, and oh-so-tasty! The best part is that the kids will love it, too. So why not give it a try and shake up your breakfast routine?

Notes From The Test Kitchen

We wanted to create a dish that was packed with flavor and versatility. So, we combined creamy eggs, savory diced ham, and a blend of Parmesan and cheddar cheeses to create a mouth-watering taste.

To add a fresh twist, we included green onions, which complement the other ingredients perfectly and add a subtle hint of freshness.

Ingredient Spotlight

Eggs are the heart and soul of this dish. They bind everything together, creating a rich, velvety texture that melts in your mouth. Freshness is key. Choose high-quality eggs. A quick trick is the water test! Fill a bowl with water and gently place your egg in. If it sinks flat, it’s perfect for your casserole. If it stands on end or floats, it may be past its prime.

Now, let’s talk about the other star: the ham. The right type can elevate your casserole from good to great. Look for a cooked ham that’s firm and moist, with no signs of discoloration. Consider the flavor profile as well! Smoky ham adds a delightful depth, pairing beautifully with sharp cheddar cheese. For a touch of sweetness, choose honey ham. Think about the texture, too – diced ham offers a pop of savory goodness in every bite, while shredded ham creates a more even distribution throughout the casserole.

Make It Your Own

This recipe is easily adaptable to suit your taste. Toss in your favorite cooked veggies, mix up the cheese options, add some spice, or experiment with fresh herbs. You can even switch out the ham for crispy bacon or savory sausage. Get creative and enjoy a dish that suits your taste perfectly!

Recipe Tips

  • Don’t forget to grease the baking dish before adding the ingredients to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Whisk the eggs and cream thoroughly to create a smooth and creamy base for the casserole.
  • Layer the ingredients evenly in the baking dish for consistent flavor distribution throughout the casserole.
  • Keep an eye on the casserole while baking to prevent overcooking; the top should be golden brown and the center set.
  • Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to allow it to set and make it easier to cut into neat portions.
  • To make ahead, prepare the casserole the night before, refrigerate it overnight, and bake it in the morning.

Storage & Freezing Instructions ❄

  • Storage: Cool the casserole completely and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap individual portions in foil and place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave.
