Ham Breakfast Casserole

One of my favorite things to make for breakfast is a good breakfast casserole. There’s just something about combining all things breakfast in one dish that screams comfort food and exactly what we all need every so often. 

This ham and cheese breakfast casserole has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember – ten years maybe? The combination of the crescent roll crust, fluffy egg mixture, and the salt of the ham together is like one great big breakfast sandwich bake!

Why people love this recipe

  • Super easy – this easy ham breakfast casserole is about as easy as it can get. You just roll out the crescent roll then top it with the ingredients!
  • Great for a crowd – this makes enough to feed 12 people all in one dish and if you want to feed even more, you can just make two or three batches!
  • Quiche in a casserole – this tastes similar to a quiche but without having to deal with making an actual quiche!

Ham Breakfast Casserole Ingredients

  • Ham – leftover spiral ham diced up into small bites works great for this! Or just buy a ham steak and dice it up into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Milk – I recommend using whole milk for this to keep it as creamy and fluffy as possible.
  • Shredded cheese – I used shredded Mexican blend but a good cheddar would be delicious as well.
  • Crescent roll sheet – if you can’t find a crescent roll sheet, you can use crescent rolls as well – simply pinch them together to make a full sheet.

How to make this Breakfast Casserole with Ham

Remember how I said making this casserole was super easy? Well, here you go. Four steps and thirty minutes to deliciousness! 

1 – Roll out the crescent rolls

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Open the package of crescent rolls and place them in the bottom of a non-stick baking dish, making sure to line the edges slightly with the crescent rolls – creating a crust for the casserole. 

If you don’t line all of the sides with the crescent rolls, you’ll end up with egg underneath the crust, which is nowhere near as tasty. 

2 – mix your egg mixture 

Mix your large eggs, milk, shredded cheese, and parsley together in a large mixing bowl until the eggs are beat and everything is well combined.

3 – Add the ham

Add the ham to the egg mixture and stir until the ham is evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. You could technically add it in step two, but it makes it a lot more difficult to beat the eggs well.

4 – Bake the Breakfast Casserole

Pour your egg and ham mixture on top of the crescent roll base and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. 

How do you know when egg casserole is done?

Check the casserole at 30 minutes and see if the texture of the casserole is still liquid when you gently shake the casserole. You want it to move a little bit but not be liquid. If it’s still liquid, increase your cook time by a few minutes then try it again until the casserole is not runny.

Pouring ham and cheese breakfast casserole into baking pan

Remove from the oven and cut into squares then serve hot. Or warm. Or at room temperature. 

It’s delicious no matter what time or temperature you serve it! You could even put it in a freezer safe dish and freeze – just toss in the oven to heat back up when you’re ready!

Tips & Storage Info

Store any leftovers of the breakfast casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Don’t have ham? Substitute the ham with bacon or sausage or whatever meat you’d like for different variations.

Make this ahead of time by pouring everything together in the casserole dish and putting it in the fridge over night. Cover tightly then bake as soon as you’re ready.

Reheat any leftovers either in the microwave or in the oven by placing in a cold oven, preheating to 350 degrees, and letting the casserole warm up with the oven.

Recipe FAQs

Can I prepare the casserole the night before?

Make this ahead of time by pouring everything together in the casserole dish and putting it in the fridge over night. Cover tightly then bake right before you’re ready.

Does breakfast casserole have to sit overnight?

This egg casserole does not need to sit overnight. You can prep it, bake it, and serve it right away. You can have it sit overnight if you want, but it’s not necessary.

What’s good to serve with this ham breakfast casserole?

This ham breakfast casserole would be great with this tropical fruit salad, with a little fruit salsa, or just fresh fruit. You can also serve it along with a side of salsa to top the casserole.

    My husband and I teach, or were before COVID, a young adult Sunday School class. So many of them said, “ we can’t get the kids dressed and fed to be here on time”, or “we are in the choir”. So….I cook breakfast for them and the kids and we only have a 30 minute class between choir practice and church. We have about 26 regulars. I have not made this recipe YET but love that it can be frozen. I can make some up for later. Love all of the ingredients too. Thank you so much. I also use some of your games when we have fellowships.

    I’m excited to try this recipe for this fun family weekend! I love breakfast casseroles! I have two happy memories that go with them….one of family time with my parents and cousins and aunts and uncles and the other is a romantic getaway with my hubby and the bed and breakfast we stayed at served different breakfast casseroles every morning. Thank you for this recipe! Can’t wait!

    Make it, bake it, eat it. One of my favorite ways to make breakfast for a crowd. I like to par bake the crust so it doesn’t get too soft. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

    This is perfect! I was looking for easy breakfast ideas to make for my kids before school. This is definitely something I could bake ahead and portion out for my kids to reheat before they run off to catch the bus!
