Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Christmas Egg Casserole for Breakfast.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when you are.
Step 3
Grab a 9x13-inch casserole dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to keep everything from sticking.
Step 4
Now, let’s lay the foundation: spread the diced ham evenly across the bottom of your prepared dish, creating a savory base.
Step 5
Take your slices of bread and butter one side of each, then cut them into delightful little cubes.
Step 6
Scatter these buttered bread cubes generously over the ham, making sure to cover it well.
Step 7
Next, layer on the cubed American cheese, adding a creamy touch that will melt beautifully.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten eggs, dry mustard, and a pinch of salt until everything is well blended.
Step 9
Pour this egg mixture over the cheese layer in the casserole, ensuring it seeps through and coats everything evenly.
Step 10
Now, cover your dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight; this allows all those wonderful flavors to meld together.
Step 11
When you’re ready to bake, take off the foil and place the casserole in your preheated oven.
Step 12
Let it bake for about an hour, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the eggs are set in the center.
Step 13
The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait! Enjoy your delicious creation, perfect for breakfast or brunch gatherings.
