Variations for an Egg Breakfast Casserole

Add veggies: To make the casserole healthier and add more flavor, you can add diced vegetables like onions, bell peppers, spinach, or broccoli to the mixture.

Simply sauté the veggies in a pan with some oil until they're tender, then mix them in with the ham and cheese before baking.

Use different cheese: While cheddar cheese is a classic choice for a ham and cheese casserole, you can experiment with other types of cheese to give the dish a different flavor.

Try using Swiss, Gouda, or even blue cheese for a bold and tangy taste.

Spice it up: If you like your food with a bit of a kick, you can add some spices to the casserole. Try mixing in some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or paprika to give it a smoky, spicy flavor.

Add herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary can add a burst of flavor to the casserole. Chop up a handful of herbs and mix them in with the ham and cheese before baking.

Use different meat: While ham is a classic choice for this casserole, you can also experiment with using other types of meat. Try using cooked bacon, shredded chicken, or even ground beef for a different flavor and texture.

Ham and Tomato Casserole: Add some fresh or canned diced tomatoes to your ham and cheese casserole for a burst of bright, tangy flavor.

Ham and Spinach Casserole: Add some nutrient-rich spinach to your ham and cheese casserole for a healthy and flavorful twist. You can also add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for extra color and flavor.

Ham and Artichoke Casserole: Add some chopped artichoke hearts to your ham and cheese casserole for a tangy and flavorful variation. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
