(6 servings)

3 cups ham - diced
-
1/2 pound processed pasteurized cheese such as Velveeta - diced
-

-
1 quart milk
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon pepper
-
1 teaspoon dry mustard
This recipe received a couple favorable reviews, but it wasn't my favorite. I liked the flavor of the broccoli and ham together, but the egg-soaked bread as the bottom layer didn't do it for me. It had a French toast-like consistency that felt at odds with everything else in the casserole. The ham in the recipe provided plenty of salt, so I'd skip adding additional salt if I ever make this again - which I probably won't. I believe this recipe would have been much better if the bread was skipped completely (maybe add 2 more eggs to compensate). For a better ham casserole experience, I'd recommend trying a recipe called Wake-Up Casserole. (The recipe on this page was submitted in 2002. It was tested and photographed in May 2015.)
How To Make A Breakfast Ham Casserole
Cut bread into cubes and place into well oiled 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Add ham, cheese, and broccoli.
In medium mixing bowl, beat eggs and milk.
Add salt, pepper and mustard; mix well. Pour over bread.
Refrigerate overnight or allow bread to soak into egg mixture.
Bake, uncovered for 1 hour in 350 degree oven.
You can make this recipe the night before and have a trouble-free morning. Great for when you have guests over or when you're rushing around and don't have time to cook during the day, ie. the holidays. Am I right ladies?
