EASY HAM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Easy Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole image

I love making casseroles like this one for breakfast! You can pretty much use any kind of bread - I like to use odds and ends like leftover buns or rolls, etc. You can mix and match the meat and cheese too, but this is a great basic country ham and Cheddar cheese version. I used leftover brioche buns for the bread.
