Veggie Ham and Cheese Egg Casserole
Description
This casserole is layered starting with shredded cheddar cheese in a sprayed baking dish, topped with softened vegetables including scallions, mushrooms, red bell peppers, seeded tomatoes, and finely chopped broccoli, along with diced lean ham. A whisked blend of whole eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and pepper is poured evenly over the ingredient layers, then finished with more cheese on top to melt and brown under the oven heat.
Baked at 375°F until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, the dish achieves a custardy interior with tender vegetables and a golden cheese crust. Allowing it to rest after baking helps the casserole firm up for easier slicing into 12 portions, making it practical for feeding a larger group or meal prepping.
