Easy Breakfast Casserole has hash browns, ham, cheese, and eggs. It’s quick to prepare, great for feeding a crowd, and can be made a head of time. Great for brunch or even the holidays!
Seriously, it took me longer to preheat my oven than it did for me to prepare this easy breakfast casserole. I used frozen hash browns, shredded cheese, and cubed ham. So, the only real prep work that I had to do was crack open the eggs.
This casserole will feed a crowd. It makes 8 to 12 portions, depending on how you cut it.
It would be perfect around the holidays since you only need to spend about 5 minutes in the kitchen putting it together. Then, just let it bake.
I always put salsa on my eggs. So, I served salsa with this dish. Hot sauce and sour cream would be good too.
Here’s the short recipe video for Easy Breakfast Casserole. In the video, I shred the cheese and chop the ham. You could definitely skip these steps and use pre-shredded cheese and pre-chopped ham.

- 24 oz. frozen hash browns -about 8 cups
- 16 oz. cubed ham
- 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese -shredded
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk -I used skim
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the frozen potatoes, ham, and cheese to a large bowl. Toss to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper (I use the same bowl from step 1).
- Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mixture. Pat everything down with the back of a wooden spoon.
Bake for one hour, uncovered. The center should be set and the edges should be golden brown.
Do you thaw the frozen potatoes first.
Can this be frozen?
Could you substitute crumbled bacon for the ham, or would the cooked bacon over cook?
I did and it turned out perfectly!
