Leftover Ham And Egg Bake

Who doesn’t love an easy breakfast casserole recipe? Whether you’re making this as a holiday breakfast recipe or just want a new recipe that will serve the entire family, this makes for a delicious morning dish that the whole family will love. Even the picky eaters won’t complain!

This particular breakfast bake is a great way to use up leftover ham! Whether you’re coming off of an Easter dinner, a Christmas celebration, or have some freezer ham that you need to use up, this is a great solution. Think of it as a savory bread pudding. 

There are a few ways to change up this easy recipe in order to meet the needs of various dietary restrictions. If you have a gluten free household, swap the white bread out for gluten free bread. If you are dairy free, swap out the mozzarella cheese for dairy free cheese. Just make sure that the variety you choose will melt nicely so that you get a similar texture to the original. 

This is a great dish for Christmas morning or Christmas brunch, as one of your Mother’s Day brunch recipes or when you want a delicious breakfast! A perfect way to use up those leftovers!

Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole Recipe

How To Make:

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked ham, cubed
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
8 oz bread, cubed
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
pepper (to taste)
sour cream (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and pepper. Mix everything well to incorporate.

In a separate large bowl, combine the bread pieces, diced ham, cheese, and chopped green onion and stir them together. Pour the egg mixture into the bread and ham bowl.

Using a spatula, continue to fold and turn the ingredients together until all of the egg has been absorbed by the bread and other ingredients.

Transfer the mixture into your casserole dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the center of the pan is set. Slice it into individual portions and serve immediately. Place a small dollop of sour cream on top of each piece if you choose and enjoy!

Can I Freeze My Leftover Ham?

Yes! After you have cooked your delicious ham, the best way is to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a resealable freezer bag or several layers of aluminum foil. For the best results, use it within 6 months of freezing. 

What Can I Serve With This Breakfast Dish?

There are a ton of options when it comes to what you can serve with this hearty casserole. A side of fresh fruit, some sliced bell pepper, hash browns or even cooking up some frozen tater tots.

Smoothies are another great option to add to breakfast recipes and both this Easy Berry Green Smoothie and Raspberry Blackberry Smoothie would go nicely!
