Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole
Description
This breakfast casserole starts with sautéing diced onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and broccoli florets until the broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green. These aromatics build flavor and soften the vegetables without overcooking them. The sauteed veggies are combined with cooked diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese, distributed evenly in a casserole dish.
Whisked eggs blended with milk, salt, and pepper are poured over the mixture, creating an egg custard base. Baking at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes cooks the eggs through and sets the casserole while allowing the edges to lightly brown for texture contrast. The result is a moist, flavorful dish with savory ham and cheddar layers interspersed with tender vegetables.
The casserole slices easily into portions and is versatile for family breakfasts or brunches. The cheddar adds a sharp, cheesy taste, complementing the ham and balancing the fresh flavor of the seasoned broccoli and peppers.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ onion diced, large
- 1 green bell pepper deseeded and diced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 cups ham cooked, diced
- 12 egg large
- ⅓ cup milk dairy or dairy-free
- salt Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 cups broccoli florets, from one head
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and get a 9×13-inch casserole dish out. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir for 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and broccoli florets (make sure they're in bite-sized pieces and not too large) and stir for another 3 minutes or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green.
- Transfer the onion and broccoli mixture to the casserole dish. Add the diced ham and cheese, then stir everything together.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together, until lightly frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture on top of the ham and vegetables. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and the edges are slightly golden.
- Slice the breakfast casserole into squares, and if you'd like, garnish freshly chopped herbs before serving.
