Ingredients
- 4 TBS butter divided
- ¾ cup chopped Vidalia onion
- Salt & pepper
- 20 oz bag of shredded potatoes from the freezer section
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 cups chopped ham
- 2 scallions chopped or chives
- 1 cup your favorite cheese shredded (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Swiss)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and spray a 9x9 or so baking dish.
- Melt 2 TBS butter and saute the onions until they are cooked through (about 4 minutes).
- Add in the remaining 2 TBS butter and Hash Browns and saute for 5 minutes.
- Season well with salt & pepper.
- Remove from heat and add in ham, cheese and scallions and toss until incorporated.
- Scrape into your baking dish.
- Whisk eggs and milk in a small bowl, season with s&p.
- Pour egg/milk mixture slowly and evenly over-top and if you choose sprinkle on some additional cheese, ham and s&p.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until firm and brown around the edges.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before cutting it into squares.
- This can also be prepared, covered and stored in the fridge overnight before cooking.
- **It is not necessary to saute the potatoes...You can choose to simply add them and 2 TBD melted butter to the onions and mix. I like a little more color on the hash browns, which is why I choose to do that. Either way tastes great!
