Ingredients for Breakfast Egg Casserole Recipe

  • Butter: Provides fat for sautéing, helps mushrooms brown, and adds flavor richness. Olive oil can also be used.
  • Baby Bella Mushrooms: Add earthy depth and umami, and sautéing removes excess moisture so the casserole isn’t watery. 
  • Ham: Adds a salty, savory protein boost and balances the richness of the eggs and cheese. 
  • Eggs: The base of the casserole, binding everything together while giving it a rich, custardy texture .
  • Skim Milk: Lightens the texture of the eggs, keeps them moist, and prevents the casserole from being rubbery. 
  • Salt and Black Pepper: Enhance and balance flavors so the casserole doesn’t taste flat.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Melts into creamy pockets, adds bold cheesy flavor, and helps bind ingredients together.
  • Dried Oregano: Brings a subtle herby aroma and Mediterranean flavor to complement ham and mushrooms. 
  • Fresh Spinach: Adds freshness, nutrients, and a pop of color; balances the richness with a mild, earthy taste.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven and grease a casserole dish.
  2. Sauté: Heat a skillet pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil, then add the mushrooms and cook without stirring until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Beat: Beat the eggs and milk in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Combine: Add in the ham, mushrooms, cheese, oregano and spinach to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Bake: Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
