This Hearty Farmers Casserole Is the Ultimate Weekend Breakfast

Roundup just a handful of inexpensive ingredients including potatoes, eggs, and ham, to create this farmers casserole. Try it for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, or even as an easy dinner recipe. Just alter your side dishes accordingly. For breakfast, we like to serve it alongside fresh fruit, coffee, and muffins. At lunch or dinner, round out the meal with a fresh green salad, crusty bread, and steamed vegetables. You can easily make this recipe the day before and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake it.

The beauty of this egg casserole recipe is how easy it is to customize. If you're watching your cholesterol, the eggs in this farmers breakfast casserole can be partially or completely replaced with refrigerated egg product (¼ cup per egg). Not a fan of ham and cheddar? Try a spiced up version made with chopped breakfast sausage and jalapeno Monterey Jack cheese. If you prefer more veggies in your breakfast, try adding blanched cut-up asparagus, chopped spinach or kale, or chopped bell pepper.

We've also included a big-batch egg casserole recipe that feeds 12. This is perfect for holiday entertaining, potlucks, or to meal prep for the week. To meal prep, bake the casserole and let it cool completely. Store individual servings in the fridge and microwave to reheat.
