Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup cream

  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 lb diced ham cooked
  • 3 green onions sliced into rounds
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until thoroughly combined.
  • Add kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Spread the diced ham and half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly in the greased baking dish.
  • Pour the prepared egg mixture over the ham and cheese layer in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the ingredients evenly.
  • Scatter the sliced green onions over the top of the casserole for added flavor and color.
  • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top achieves a light golden brown color.
  • Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Allow the cheese to melt before serving.
  • Cut the casserole into squares or rectangles for easy serving. For added presentation, garnish with chopped parsley or additional green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t forget to grease the baking dish before adding the ingredients to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Whisk the eggs and cream thoroughly to create a smooth and creamy base for the casserole.
  • Layer the ingredients evenly in the baking dish for consistent flavor distribution throughout the casserole.
  • Keep an eye on the casserole while baking to prevent overcooking; the top should be golden brown and the center set.
  • Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to allow it to set and make it easier to cut into neat portions.
  • To make ahead, prepare the casserole the night before, refrigerate it overnight, and bake it in the morning.
