Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large eggs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces thickly sliced deli ham, diced
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), diced
1 onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups frozen shredded hash browns (from a 1-pound bag; do not thaw)
4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 bunch scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham, bell peppers, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 6 minutes; add to the bowl with the eggs.
  • Preheat the broiler. Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the frozen hash browns in an even layer. Cook, pressing the hash browns into the bottom and up the side of the skillet with a spatula, until golden on the bottom, about 6 minutes.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns. Transfer the skillet to the broiler; cook until partially set, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese and all but about 2 tablespoons scallions over the eggs. Continue broiling until the cheese melts and the eggs are set, 2 to 3 more minutes.

WESTERN HAM AND EGG CASSEROLE



Western Ham and Egg Casserole image

This recipe is a hybrid. I found two recipes with almost identical ingredients. I liked the one recipe better because I could just put everything in the baking dish without layering. However, it called for it to be refrigerated overnight so that the egg mixture could sink in. I have a full-sized fridge plus two bar fridges but I do so much cooking at Christmas, there simply isn't room to store one more dish. The technique for the second recipe didn't need for the dish to sit overnight, but rather cook it in a hot water bath for a longer period. The end product was a big hit and turned out perfectly cooked and moist. A big time saver for this recipe is using the cut up day old bread that many bakeries sell over the holidays for making stuffing. I was also lucky in that I stumbled across pre-chopped pancetta at Costco, also a big time saver.
