Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking dish greased
  • 1 mixing bowl large
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. This allows the oven to reach the right temperature, ensuring even cooking.
  • Dice the ham, chop the bell peppers and onions, and grate the cheese. Set these aside for assembly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the ham, bell peppers, onions, and cheese evenly in the dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking. This helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to cut.
  • Cut the casserole into slices and serve warm. Enjoy it with your favorite breakfast sides.

Storage

  • Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
