This Veggie Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole is perfect to feed a crowd. I love making this one dish breakfast when I am hosting brunch or bringing a dish to a potluck. Some of my other favorites breakfast casseroles popular on my site, are Sausage Cheese and Veggie Bake, Tex Mex Breakfast Casserole and this Spinach Feta and Artichoke Bake.

My sister in law Denise made this at a brunch she hosted and I knew I wanted to remake it (just a bit lighter). Her recipe called for flour but I tested it without and it worked fine. For added lean protein, I swapped some of the eggs for egg whites, and I added a lot more veggies and the results were wonderful! You can prep it ahead and bake when your guests arrive.

Variations and Tips:

  • You can swap the ham for sausage or leave it out to make it vegetarian.
  • Refrigerate for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • To freeze, cut in portions and wrap tight with plastic, transfer to freezer safe containers or ziplock bags. To thaw, place one in the refrigerator the night before.
