👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Get the Oven Ready
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper.
3️⃣ Add the Filling
Stir in the diced ham, shredded cheddar, and onion.
Mix everything together so the ham and cheese are evenly distributed.
4️⃣ Pour & Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for approximately 30–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
The middle should be firm but still tender.
5️⃣ Let It Rest
Take the casserole out of the oven and let it rest for about 5–10 minutes before slicing.
That little pause helps everything set nicely.
Then grab a fork and dig in! 🥚❤️
✨ Easy Ways to Change It Up
🥦 Broccoli & cheddar: Add chopped cooked broccoli.
🌿 Spinach & feta: Swap some of the cheddar for feta and add fresh spinach.
🍄 Mushroom & Swiss: Sauté sliced mushrooms and use Swiss cheese.
🌶️ A Little Heat: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
🥓 Ham & Bacon: Add a little cooked bacon for an extra savory breakfast.
💡 A Little Tip
Don't overbake it.
The casserole will continue cooking slightly after you remove it from the oven, so take it out once the center is just set.
Also, if your ham is particularly salty, taste the mixture before adding much extra salt.
❤️ The Kind of Breakfast That Makes Mornings Easier
There's something wonderful about a breakfast you can prepare ahead of time.
Make it once, slice it up, and suddenly busy mornings become a whole lot easier.
It's warm, cheesy, satisfying, and simple enough for a weekday—but cozy enough for a lazy weekend brunch.
Sometimes the easiest breakfasts are the ones everyone remembers. 🥚🧀❤️
