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 made this for the first time a few weeks ago. I baked it covered for about 80 minutes and uncovered for the last 10 to get a little crust on the top. It was delicious and I’m making it again tonight so it’s ready to be re-warmed in the morning. Thanks for sharing!
when you say seasoning salt do you mean Lawry’s?
Tammy,
Yes, Lawry’s would be a great choice. Other Seasoned Salts like Johnny’s will also work well. Good luck! Hope you love it!

Think I will make some fresh yams (well only sweet potatoes here) for Christmas. I must say I am inpirsed to make a lovely traditional Christmas meal with my husband after seeing what you and your husband put together. Well done to you both :cheese1_ee: I am so proud of you Pat for eating yams :clap_tb: and joining the rest of the world in liking them! Next we have to get you on some sweet potato pie :exclaim_ee: Yeah, that’s right, don’t let me hear you complain too much either after all, I have succumbed to the olive after all this time! :surrender_tb:
Hi Jamie,
We had a farewell potluck for my Pastor and his family this past weekend, and my last name fell under main dish to bring. I chose this because it could be assembled the night before. I am not an egg person and I really liked this recipe. It went over really well at my church and I have given out your recipe and sent them to your site. I did bake mine an extra 12 minutes which made the eggs set completely in the middle. My mom wants to make this for Christmas morning, and I am totally on board. Thanks for your great recipes, I have never been disappointed with the several I have made.
Think I could put this together the night before and bake in the morning?
Christy,
Yes, you can make it the night before. 🙂 Best of luck to you.

how do we print the recipe?????
Can Milk be used instead of Half& half?
Alice,
Yes, you can use milk. It won’t be quite as rich, but milk will do. Good luck!

Thanks Jammie!
Could I freeze this recipe? If so how long would I cook it?
Teanna,
I haven’t ever frozen it before. Not sure if it would work out very well or not. You can, however assemble it the night before and then bake it in the morning. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Best of luck to you,
~Jamie
I was wondering the same thing about freezing…I’m making it tonight for my hubby and friends but not planning on cooking it until saturday or Sunday am…
Thank you for the great recipe,this turned out great and love the fact it can be assembled the night before! I did take the foil off after 90 minutes and let it brown for an additional 15mins.
