HAM AND BROCCOLI BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH EXTRA-SHARP CHEDDAR

Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole With Extra-Sharp Cheddar image

I was at a church brunch recently and the ladies at my table started talking about egg casseroles. It was fun to hear everyone's take on them...for both sides...the cooking them and the eating them. After listening contentedly for a few minutes, I chimed in with a few thoughts myself. "I love to add some flare to my egg casseroles...whether it be a particular spice, or a bold and delicious cheese." I went on to tell them about this one dish egg casserole that I brought and why I chose the extra-sharp, how it took me what felt like 9 minutes to locate the extra-sharp cheddar cheese in the cheese department, and how I used the English muffins because it's what I found in my freezer. I loved the balance of flavors and textures in this egg casserole. The crushed red pepper gives a hint of heat. The paprika brings a bit of smoky sweetness, and the ham and broccoli work perfectly with the rich and deep flavor of the extra-sharp cheddar cheese. I hope you enjoy the rich flavor that the extra-sharp cheddar cheese brings to this one dish egg casserole!

Time 1h5m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into small pieces
3 cups cooked cubed ham
2 (10 ounce) boxes chopped frozen broccoli, thawed, water pressed out
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 cups milk
5 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

In a 9x13x2-inch baking dish, put enough of the bread pieces into the bottom of the pan to make a thin layer.
Make a layer of ham, followed by a layer of broccoli, and then the cheese.

Toss remaining bread with butter; sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
Bake at 325° for 45 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your casserole. Choose fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and high-quality ham.
Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will make your casserole soggy.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Swiss are all good choices.
Season your casserole well: Don't be afraid to season your casserole with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
Serve your casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives for an extra touch of flavor.
