Notes

Ingredient Notes
    • Hashbrowns: Thaw hashbrowns first to help them cook evenly and brown well. 
    • Ham: I used diced ham from my grocery store's meat section. However, you could also use leftover ham, diced ham steak, or deli lunchmeat.
    • Eggs: Use room-temperature eggs to help everything come together smoothly.
    • Cheese: Shred your own cheese for the creamiest melt.

Tips
  1. Mix with a whisk to incorporate air into the eggs.
  2. Line your casserole dish with foil to make clean-up and the dishes a breeze!
  3. You can tell egg casseroles are done when they are no longer jiggly in the center. It should also read at least 160 degrees F on an Instant read thermometer.
  4. Use thawed hashbrowns to help them cook evenly and brown well.
