A hearty farmer breakfast casserole with hash browns, ham, and cheese. Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)
  • 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
  • ½ cup green onions (sliced, about 4)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk (1 ½ cups)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Spread thawed hash browns evenly in the prepared dish. Top with ham, green onions, and shredded cheese.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, pepper, salt, and dried mustard (if using).
  4. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and ham mixture in the dish.
  5. Place in the oven uncovered and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Let casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can prepare it the night before and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Fresh shredded potatoes can replace frozen hash browns.
  • Cheddar cheese works best, but you can use other melting cheeses like Monterey Jack.
  • It’s done when the center is no longer runny and a knife comes out clean.
