Recipe Notes
list of 8 items
• I like to use a crescent dough sheet, which doesn't have any perforations. If you can't find the dough sheets, just use a regular can of crescent roll
dough and pinch together the seems so that you have one complete sheet.
• You can buy pre-diced ham in the meat section at your grocery store, you can purchase ham at the deli counter and chop it up yourself, or you can use
leftover ham from a previous meal (I used leftover
5-Ingredient Baked Ham with Apricot Glaze
here). Any variety will work!
• Make an egg casserole with no meat! For a vegetarian egg casserole recipe, replace the diced ham with sautéed vegetables of your choice. I recommend
diced bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and finely diced onion.
• If you decide to add vegetables to this casserole, you'll want to cook them in a skillet first. The vegetables will release liquid as they cook, and
you don't want them to make your egg casserole watery!
• Omit the ham and just serve an egg and eheese casserole!
• Instead of ham, try
this Egg Casserole with Bacon.
• If you want an egg casserole with hash browns, try
this Bacon and Cheese Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole.
• You can make an egg casserole with bread instead of crescent roll dough, such as
this Ham, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Strata.

Can Egg Casserole be made ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble this casserole the night before and keep it in the refrigerator (covered) for about 8 hours before baking.
How long can this Egg Casserole be in the fridge?
Once baked, the leftover egg casserole will be good for about 2 days in the refrigerator. If you want it to last longer, I recommend freezing the extra
casserole.
Can Egg Casserole be frozen?
Yes! When wrapped tightly, a baked egg casserole can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Can Egg Casserole be reheated?
Yes! Reheat the egg casserole in a 350 degree F oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. If the top of the casserole starts to get too dark
before it is warmed through, cover loosely with foil to prevent further browning.
