Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)
  • 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
  • ½ cup green onions (sliced, about 4)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups evaporated milk (1 can)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried mustard (optional) for extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Spread thawed hash browns evenly in the prepared dish. Top with ham, green onions, and shredded cheese.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, black pepper, salt, and dried mustard (if using).
  4. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and ham mixture in the dish.
  5. Place in the oven uncovered and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

Feel free to swap ingredients for your preferences, such as using sausage instead of ham or adding sautéed vegetables. Allowing the casserole to rest is crucial for achieving a perfect slice.
