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)
- Gravy:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/3 C sour cream
- 4-6 T milk
- salt and pepper
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.
I am so making this recipe this weekend!
Egg casserole is one of our Christmas morning traditions too. Yours looks delish!
Oh my! This would be a wonderful dish to serve on Christmas morning.
Hey you guys! :tongue3_tb: Looks like you had a wonderful time (even with no one phclsyaily there with you to celebrate) .the food looked amazing! I am so impressed :thumbup_tb: by you both for doing everything from scratch (even the bread crumbs for the stuffing) if I remember correctly from my phone conversation that day with you Angel. Loved the videos! :lol_tb: Pat hope you have recovered from the food poisoning you probably got from licking raw turkey! :bigsurprise_ee: I always knew you were a bit impatient, but damn .raw turkey juice? :confused_ee: :tongue2_tb: Cheers :drunk_tb: right back at you both and Happy Holidays! Miss you both!Love & Hugs,Faith
A perfect reply! Thanks for taking the trouble.
I have personally eaten this delish casserole from the lovely Heather Peterson herself, and I am always proud when her food makes the bolg! This casserole is a keeper! Hi sis!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I made it last night and baked it this morning while we were opening presents. We LOVED it! I think this is going to be my Christmas morning meal every year from now on.
This is wonderful, this will no doubt help me get rid of the eggs I have. Can't wait to try it, especially after thanksgiving with leftover turkey.
So I really want to try this on Christmas morning, but with biscuits instead of potatoes, so that I can use country gravy with it… ( hubby LOVES biscuits and gravy) Do you this I would cook it the same (or what would I change temp/time wise)??? : )
The recipe looks so delicious. It will be great for Christmas morning when I have an extra 5 adults to make breakfast for and it will give them time to sleep in.Probably no gravy. We will have Pecan cinnamon rolls with it. Thank you and Merry Christmas/ Happy Holiday to all.
Do you cook it with the foil on or leave it uncovered? Thanks!
Leave the foil on while it cooks. Good luck!

Jamie, this looks dee-lish! I have a few questions. I know this makes me weird, but I'm not much of a gravy person. Do you think this casserole is tasty even without the gravy? Also, do you NOT thaw the frozen potatoes before preparing? And, can it be prepared the night before and then baked in the morning? I'm thinking about preparing this for company and want to make sure to do it just right!
Hi Jill,
Yes, the casserole is great even without the gravy. Some of my kids prefer it that way. No need to thaw the potatoes and yes, making it the night before works super well. Good luck! Hope it turns out well for you!
