Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces ham diced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and finely diced
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 20 ounces fresh or frozen hash browns
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chives sliced
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the onions and peppers, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are softened, 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the cooked vegetables, ham and hash browns in the baking dish, stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until thoroughly blended. Add the cream, milk and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the cheese.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the ham and vegetables in the pan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle with chives. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  1. To get a smooth egg mixture for this casserole, I typically crack my eggs into a bowl, and whisk until thoroughly blended. After the eggs have been beaten, I slowly add in the milk and cream, whisking as I go.
  2. You can use either fresh or frozen hash browns for this recipe. If you’re using frozen hash browns, you don’t need to thaw them, simply break them up a bit and add to the pan. Fresh hash browns are located in the egg section of most grocery stores.
