Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole Ingredients

Good news — this breakfast casserole doesn’t require that many ingredients. But if you want to add one more vegetable or switch up the meat, the choice is all yours!

• Eggs & Milk: Egg casserole necessities! For milk, you can use dairy or dairy-free milk. Just note that dairy milk will give your eggs a fluffier texture.
• Meat: If you have leftover ham from the holidays, use that! If not, you can purchase ham steaks to dice up.
• Vegetables: Aside from broccoli florets, I’m including diced onions and green bell pepper. But, feel free to use other veggies like asparagus, sweet potato, zucchini, or even green peas.
• Cheese: Shredded cheddar cheese is my go-to for casseroles, but you can use any kind really. For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or use vegan cheese.

How To Make a Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole

For this recipe, grab a 9×13-inch casserole dish. If your casserole dish is slightly smaller or bigger, that will work just fine. Then follow along below!

Cook the veggies. In a large pan, sauté the onion and bell pepper for about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and broccoli florets, and stir for another 3 minutes or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and vibrant green.

Add the filling ingredients. Transfer the onion and broccoli mixture to the casserole dish. Then add the diced ham and cheese, and stir everything together.

Make the egg mixture. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until lightly frothy.

It’s time to bake! Pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 400°F (200°C). The center should be cooked through and with a slightly golden crust on top.

Slice and serve. Slice the breakfast casserole into squares, and if you’d like, garnish with freshly chopped herbs before serving.
