Breakfast Casserole

One of my husband’s favorite meals is breakfast. Particularly breakfast casserole. Whether it’s sausage, bacon or ham or all three, it matters not. He loves it all. Add a piece of blueberry crumb coffee cake and he is in heaven.

Here is a recipe I made last week. I must say it was one of the best breakfast casseroles I have had the pleasure of eating.

Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

9 slices of white bread, cubed
¾ lb cubed ham
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
5 slices of baby swiss
3 eggs
1 ¾ cups milk
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp pepper


Lightly grease bottom of a 9x9 square baking dish. Line the bottom of the dish with half the bread. Top with ham, cheddar cheese then layer the swiss cheese. Add the rest of the bread. In a bowl beat the eggs, milk, onion powder and pepper. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate over night.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 40-45 minutes or until slightly browned. Let sit for a few minutes to set. Enjoy!

Tip: When I am using a glass-baking dish and it’s cold, I put the dish in the oven before I turn the oven on and allow the dish to warm up as the oven does.
