I found this recipe on one of my favorite food blogs Closet Cooking back in 2009. This has become my go to breakfast recipe because it is not only delicious, but incredibly easy. Most of the ingredients are ones that I usually have on hand and substitutions work beautifully. Honestly, whatever is in my kitchen that day is what usually will end up in this casserole. I have made a few adjustments by decreasing the amount of shredded cheese and increasing the cooking time. The trick here is to use the cottage cheese- it adds a texture and seasoning that you do not want to miss! The next time you are contemplating breakfast food, I recommend you try this, it will not disappoint! This recipe can also be halved or doubled easily depending on the size of your crowd.
Ham and Cheese Casserole
Serves 6
Ingredients
10 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup diced ham or bacon (cooked)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, colby- anything you have on hand)
1/4 cup diced jalapeno pepper
2 chopped green onions
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Pour mixture into an 8 inch square pan (adjust size of the pan if you are making more or less). Bake in a preheated oven at 375 until the eggs are firmly set and golden brown on top. Usually around 30 minutes. If you give the pan a shake and nothing "jiggles", then you are all set!
