How to make an egg casserole with hash browns?

First things first, go ahead and dice the ham, onions and green peppers.

Also, shred the cheese, spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350° F.

Next, grab a large mixing bowl and crack twelve eggs into the bowl. Pour in a cup of milk and add the salt and pepper.

• A quick word on adding the spices. You can always wait until the casserole is done before adding salt and pepper to taste. Nobody wants over seasoned food.

After that, in another large mixing bowl, mix the hash browns, cheddar cheese, green peppers, and onions.

• When it comes to cheese, keep in mind that type and quality does make a difference. For this egg baked casserole with ham, I recommend a Cabot Brand Vermont cheddar.

Then, once the hash browns and other ingredients are mixed, pour them into the prepared baking dish. Spread them out evenly.

Afterward, pour the egg mixture into the baking dish. Make sure to evenly pour it over all the hash browns so they can soak up the whipped eggs.

If needed, use a spatula to press the hash browns and other ingredients down into the egg mixture.

Now, place the hash brown breakfast casserole (uncovered) into your preheated oven for about an hour.

You’ll know that it’s done when the center no longer jiggles, the edges and top are browned, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Take a look at the photo above as a reference.

Last, remove the hash brown casserole from the oven and let it cool for about five minutes before serving.

That’s it, your cheesy breakfast casserole recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the meal and wish you all the best 🙂
