Egg Potato And Ham Bake For Two Recipes

EGG CASSEROLE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray small 2-cup capacity oval baker with vegetable spray.
• In bowl, combine eggs, milk, bread, green onion, cheese and ham; mix well.
• Pour egg mixture into baker.
• Bake 20-25 minutes or until egg mixture is set.

HASH BROWN EGG CASSEROLE WITH HAM

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray, or grease with butter.
• Dump the bag of frozen hashbrowns into the pan. (There is no need to thaw first.)
• Melt a stick of butter in a small bowl, and pour evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to gently toss it all together, then spread it out so that it's even.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned on top. You can even nab a forkful to make sure they are done if you like.
• Remove the casserole and reduce the oven temperature to 350.
• Layer 1 and 1/2 cups each Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes (make sure you pack in your cheese! Don't skimp now!) Add the ham. You can either leave it layered or use a spoon to gently toss the cheese and potatoes and ham together. Either way is fine. (I like to toss for a more even distribution.)
• In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together 8 eggs, 1 and 1/3 cups evaporated milk OR cream, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if all you have is table salt!), 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Beat well.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the casserole, making sure everything gets wet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. It is done when bubbly. The edges should be starting to brown and the center should not wiggle when you shake the pan.
• If the center of the casserole looks very wobbly but the top is starting to brown too much, cover with foil for the last few minutes of baking.

EGG, POTATO AND HAM BAKE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400.
• Arrange your potato slices on a plate and microwave for 4 minutes. This helps tenderize them up front and will speed up cooking in the oven.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Grease a small casserole dish (mine's 8x6, cast iron), then layer the bottom with potatoes. Sprinkle with kale, Canadian bacon, goat cheese and red onion. Repeat 2 or 3 more times. Then pour the egg mixture over the potato layers.
• Bake until the eggs are set, and everything is starting to brown and slightly crisp on top, anywhere from 20-30 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with fruit and coffee! (And mimosas if it's Mother's Day. Or any day. What.)
• Serves two.

HAM AND EGG BREAKFAST BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Beat eggs, milk, sour cream, and salt together in a large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Mix ham, bell peppers, mushrooms, and green onion into the egg mixture; pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cover top of dish with Cheddar cheese; continue baking until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

HAM-AND-POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch-round cake pan (at least 2 inches deep). Line bottom of pan with a parchment-paper round.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice potatoes (less than 1/4 inch thick); drop into egg mixture.
• Lifting potatoes out of egg mixture, arrange half the potatoes in pan. Layer with ham, broccoli, cheese, and remaining potatoes. Pour egg mixture over top. Press down firmly so that potatoes are fully submerged in egg mixture.
• Cover with foil; bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Uncover; continue baking until golden and set, 30 to 45 minutes more.
• Cool 15 to 20 minutes in pan. Run a knife around edge, and carefully invert onto a plate. Peel off parchment. Reinvert, top side up. Slice with a serrated knife.
