Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the ham into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size to ensure even distribution throughout the dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a single layer.
- Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over the biscuit pieces, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture slowly and evenly over the biscuits and ham, making sure all pieces are moistened.
- Top the entire dish with shredded cheese, covering the surface completely.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the breakfast bake rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dish to set and cool slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve hot, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider using flavored cheese like sharp cheddar or pepper jack instead of regular shredded cheese.
- Make sure to cut biscuits and ham into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture in every bite.
- If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare it the night before and refrigerate. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
- For a healthier version, use turkey ham or add some diced vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to increase nutritional value.
- Always grease your baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set, which makes cutting and serving much easier.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley to add a pop of color and fresh flavor to your breakfast bake.
