I loooove a good egg bake and I’m only about a 3 out of 10 in terms of liking eggs in general. There is just so much to love about egg bakes that goes way beyond ze eggs. I mean, think about it: you whisk those eggys right up with milk and seasoning – you pour those eggys right over some delicious things like bread, vegetables, potatoes, meat, and cheese – you bake it to firm, flavorful, breakfasty perfection – and then you eat those eggys right up with everything else good and wonderful in there. It makes for a quick one-dish brunch and some awesome leftovers for breakfast on the go. Hot, cold, doesn’t even matter. This is gon’be good.

Serves: 4
Recipe Modified from: pinchofyum
Ingredients
- 4 ounces ground spicy Italian sausage
- 2 cups chopped Smithfield ham
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon seasoning of your choice - I used Emeril's Original Essence
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lb. shredded potatoes (I used a package of refrigerated hashbrowns)
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- green onions for topping
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a small skillet until no longer pink. Add the ham and saute together until warm. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, milk, seasoning, and garlic powder together.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small greased baking dish (mine was about 8 inches long by 4 inches wide), arrange the hashbrowns in a layer in the bottom of the pan. Pour ⅔ of the egg mixture over the hashbrowns. Cover with ¼ cup shredded cheese, the meat mixture, and then the remaining egg mixture. Top with the last ¼ cup shredded cheese and cover loosely with greased foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the egg mixture is firm and the cheese is melted. You can remove the foil for the last few minutes of baking to get your cheese extra browned and bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, sprinkle with green onions, and cut or scoop to serve.
