Description

You don't have to plan ahead to make this easy breakfast casserole of ham, eggs, and vegetables, since there's no overnight soak required.

Ingredients

5 slices bread, cubed
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped ham
7 eggs
1/2 cup 2% milk
2 teaspoons mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread bread cubes in a 8x12-inch casserole dish.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and green pepper; cook and stir until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in ham until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
3 Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl; mix in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir in mushroom-ham mixture and cheeses. Pour into the casserole dish. Stir well to moisten the bread cubes. Cover baking dish with foil.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, about 25 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until top starts to brown, about 5 minutes more.
