HAM AND BROCCOLI BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH EXTRA-SHARP CHEDDAR

Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole With Extra-Sharp Cheddar image

I was at a church brunch recently and the ladies at my table started talking about egg casseroles. It was fun to hear everyone's take on them...for both sides...the cooking them and the eating them. After listening contentedly for a few minutes, I chimed in with a few thoughts myself. "I love to add some flare to my egg casseroles...whether it be a particular spice, or a bold and delicious cheese." I went on to tell them about this one dish egg casserole that I brought and why I chose the extra-sharp, how it took me what felt like 9 minutes to locate the extra-sharp cheddar cheese in the cheese department, and how I used the English muffins because it's what I found in my freezer. I loved the balance of flavors and textures in this egg casserole. The crushed red pepper gives a hint of heat. The paprika brings a bit of smoky sweetness, and the ham and broccoli work perfectly with the rich and deep flavor of the extra-sharp cheddar cheese. I hope you enjoy the rich flavor that the extra-sharp cheddar cheese brings to this one dish egg casserole!

Time 1h5m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into small pieces
3 cups cooked cubed ham
2 (10 ounce) boxes chopped frozen broccoli, thawed, water pressed out
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 cups milk
5 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

In a 9x13x2-inch baking dish, put enough of the bread pieces into the bottom of the pan to make a thin layer.
Make a layer of ham, followed by a layer of broccoli, and then the cheese.
Whisk together milk, eggs, salt, and dry mustard. Pour over top.
Toss remaining bread with butter; sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
Bake at 325° for 45 minutes.
Let cool for about 20 minutes; cut into squares.

Tips:

Prep Ahead: Save time in the morning by prepping the casserole the night before. Simply assemble the casserole without baking it, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, all you have to do is pop it in the oven.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your casserole the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Don't Overcook the Eggs: The eggs in the casserole should be cooked through but still slightly soft and fluffy. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
Add Your Favorite Toppings: Once the casserole is baked, you can add your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped green onions.

This ham broccoli breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's packed with protein, vegetables, and flavor. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover ham. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give this casserole a try.
