Denver Egg Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by sautéing diced onions in butter until softened, which adds sweetness and depth. Eggs are whisked with heavy cream to create a rich custard base. The ham, bell pepper, cooked onions, and shredded cheddar cheese are folded into the egg mixture.
The combined ingredients are poured into a greased casserole dish and baked until the center is fully set and a knife inserted emerges clean. The cooking method yields a tender, firm yet creamy texture with flavorful bits of ham and pepper spread throughout. The melted cheese adds moistness and richness.
This egg casserole can be served warm for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, complementing breads or salads as desired. The recipe provides a simple way to enjoy the combination of eggs with savory vegetables and ham in a convenient baked form.
