If you are looking for something wonderful to serve for breakfast this holiday….I do believe this might be the recipe for you!
This Breakfast Casserole can be put together the night before, then baked up warm and lovely in the morning while you are busy.
Busy unwrapping presents, or watching your kids shriek with gladness, or cuddling with your honey bun under the tree.
Don’t let the tree needles poke you in the eye while you are cuddling under the tree, now.
Come to think of it…just cuddle on the couch, hu?
Might be a bit safer.
This fabulous recipe is very hearty and filling.
Love that.
It’s tasty….oh so tasty and delicious.
A most important requirement.
Hope you make it..
Hope you love it….
Hope you get some smooching and
cuddlin’ this Christmas Season!
Ingredients
- 24 oz frozen shredded potatoes
- salt and pepper
- 12 eggs
- 2 C half and half
- 1 t season salt
- 1 1/2 C cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 1/2 C pepper jack cheese, grated
- 2 C chopped ham (you can substitute cooked sausage)

- Â
Instructions
1. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Pour the frozen potatoes into the pan. Shake a little salt and pepper over the top.
2. In a large bowl whisk the eggs up. Add the half and half, season salt, cheeses and ham. Stir to mix it all together.
3. Pour it over the top of the potatoes. Cover with foil and let it hang out in the fridge while you finish wrapping gifts...
4. Bake at 350 for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the pieces hold shape.
5. Mix all gravy ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until smooth and warmed through. Pour over the top of the casserole.Â
Looks delicious! I'm making something similar for Christmas morning, but with bacon instead of ham.
Looks wonderful! For my family, I'd probably top it with some sausage gravy, just because that's a regional favorite, but these ingredients can't be beat. And anything you can make ahead of time during the holidays is a lifesaver.
This is just what I was looking for. Something special for Christmas morning. Just copied it,and can/t wait to dig in!!
I think I'll be making this too. Just half the recipe and it will be yummy~ thanks for sharing.
The perfect recipe for Christmas morning. I'll be baking this one up for sure! I think I'll opt for cuddling on the couch. I would have to fight off the dog and the 8 year old if I try to cuddle under the tree.
I opt for couch too..8yo and dog to fight off here too! 😉
Lol, just realized the date on ur comment. 🙂
GFG: I specifically reseqetud the security code thing. AreaVoices doesn’t tell me when I get a new post, as you know, so when spam starts accumulating in really old posts, I have no way of knowing. Since this is a public face of the Herald, I didn’t want any porno getting posted without my knowing about it.Plus, I have a raging hatred of spammers.
So glad you posted this! I'm supposed to bring a breakfast casserole to a Christmas breakfast on Saturday, and this will save me from having to search for a recipe! I know that since it is from you it will be delicious!
I just took a pan of the cream cheese walnut bars out of the oven. Can't wait until I can frost and taste them. They look spectacular and I think my neighbors will love them. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Renee'
The smell of this alone would be enough to wake anybody up on Christmas morning.
Hope you have your cardiologist on speed dial!!!
It’s not real food that harms us. Only the fake foods. U could make this with bacon or sausage gravy and leave out the canned soup if u wish. Its not meats, eggs, cheeses that cause problems. If people knew more it would help them live better and enjoy (real) food again instead of all the substitutes.
Looks yummy! I am looking for something new to make for Christmas morning.
It should be poured over the potatoes at this point. Wrap it in aluminum foil, then place it in the refrigerator to chill while you finish wrapping the presents. After removing it from the oven, let it stand for around ten minutes before serving. This will assist the parts in maintaining their form.
