This Ham and Cheese Egg bake is super simple to make, is light and fluffy, and is great for entertaining or just a lazy Sunday brunch.  Try different combinations of breakfast meats, cheeses and veggies depending our your family’s tastes.

Last weekend we had a long {long} weekend, and by the time Sunday morning rolled around, I was exhausted.  We left Thursday at lunchtime to head to my college alma mater for ESPN game day {tailgating + long football game = one tired me!}.  The next morning, we shuffled over to Kansas City to spend some time with my friend Chandra {of the lovely Plaid and Paisley Kitchen}…did some shopping on the Plaza, and went to the Royals game Friday night.

By the time we hit a few more stores Saturday, drove home, grocery shopped and washed laundry, the very last thing I wanted to do was cook early Sunday morning.  But since everyone was starving and we’d eaten out enough over the weekend, I decided I’d better get something semi-healthy in our bellies.  This ham and cheese egg bake literally took me 5 minutes to mix up and pop in the oven – it’s so, so easy to make.

As a bonus: after popping it in to bake, I kicked back with my coffee and snuggled in with a book while the casserole did its thing in the oven.

Even better, you can really mix in any breakfast meats and/or veggies you’d like.  I went with cubed ham and shredded cheddar cheese, since Doodle won’t think of eating anything that might have touched a veggie.  But if you don’t live with a picky 7-year old, I highly suggest adding in some sliced mushrooms, red pepper, green onion, and/or picked jalapeno slices.

We’ve been on a Silk kick lately.  I’ve been adding it to pretty much everything I normally use milk in {my recent favorites are these Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins, Frozen Coconut Berry Pie, and Blueberry Coconut Popsicles}.

For this ham and cheese egg bake, I used the DHA Omega-3 Soymilk, because it is an excellent source of calcium, it’s low in saturated fat, and it contains DHA Omega-3—a valuable nutrient that helps support the brain, heart and eyes.  Stuff like that is important to a mom. 😉
