HAM 'N' EGG CASSEROLE

Ham 'n' Egg Casserole image

I like to prepare this breakfast bake when I have ham leftovers and day-old bread on hand. It's a delicious brunch dish. I love that it's prepared the night before, which allows me to focus on making other dishes for the meal. -Elizabeth Hesse, Springville, New York
