How to make Baked Egg Casseroles
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Coat two 18.6-ounce individual oven-safe baking dishes with nonstick spray. Click for 18.6-ounce baking dishes.
In a medium bowl, mix hash browns, olive oil, thyme, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Gently toss to combine.
Cut the ham into 1-inch pieces (if not using diced) and add to the potato mixture. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the melted butter and stir to combine well.
Pour the hash brown mixture into the dishes, divided evenly between the two.
Sprinkle each with the cheddar cheese, divided evenly.
Place into the oven and bake until the edges begin to brown about 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and create a well in the center of each dish. I press a large rounded serving spoon into the center to make the well. Be careful, the dishes will be very hot.
Add one egg to each well, gently cracking the eggs to keep the yolk intact.
Sprinkle the eggs with Parmesan, and divide evenly.
Season each with more salt and pepper, if desired.
Top each with some fresh chopped chives for garnish.
Place the dishes into the oven and bake until the egg whites have set about 8 – 10 minutes.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve on top of cork trivets to protect tables and countertops from heat. Click for cork trivets.

This was delicious. I used already cooked bacon because that’s what I had. I’m not sure the raw bacon would have cooked to my liking. One thing for sure that I would change is to mix the cheddar cheese into the potato mixture. I didn’t like how it just made a solid sheet of cheese on the top. Overall a great breakfast for our Christmas morning, served with bloody Mary’s and toasted croissants.
