Family Brunch: Easy Breakfast Casserole Recipe
This Easy Breakfast Casserole contains – Ham, Eggs, Broccoli, Potatoes, & Cheese
A couple weeks ago I had a few potatoes, ham, and broccoli that needed to be used up so I came up with an Easy Breakfast Casserole that was a big hit with the family. This casserole was a created as a way to utilize items in our fridge and pantry, but received big thumbs up. Hope you enjoy it too. It is one that would be good for a family brunch or you could even prep it the night before and stick it in the oven in the morning. Or better yet put it in the crockpot and cook on low before going to bed. When you wake up breakfast is ready!
Easy Breakfast Casserole Recipe:
- 4 medium Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Ham (cubed)
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 cups Broccoli
- 8 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/2 Onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and add diced onions stirring occasionally. Saute on low for several minutes until the onions appear clear. Grease a 9×13 pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the onions are sauteing, peel and cube the potatoes and put them into the grease pan. Add the saute onions over the potatoes. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add pepper, milk, remaining tablespoon of melted butter, and stir until mixed well. Pour the liquid mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of cheese over the potatoes and egg layers followed by the layer of broccoli and ham. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and 15 minutes uncovered.
Options: You could add peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms or any number of other vegetables to this dish. Use what your family has on hand and what you enjoy eating.
We do have a family member that doesn’t eat eggs or dairy so I made another version for her with everything the same except I made substitutions on the eggs and dairy (I plan on sharing that version with you in a later post). Bon Appetite!
