Biscuit and Ham Breakfast Bake with diced ham, tender biscuits, eggs, and cheese is a hearty casserole perfect for breakfast or brunch. Can be made ahead for busy work days!
We’re big fans of refrigerated biscuits around here and at any given time, I have a tube or two in the fridge handy for all sorts of sweet and savory (this bubble pizza is a must-try!) treats.
Of all the delicious things we are able to make with biscuits, this biscuit and ham breakfast bake is, by far, my hands down favorite. Loaded with diced ham, eggs, and cheese, it’s hearty and delicious for breakfast or brunch.
This ham egg and biscuit breakfast casserole is easy to prep and can be made ahead of time which is perfect for busy weekdays or for feeding a crowd. Just keep refrigerated and adjust the cook time 3 to 5 minutes.
This breakfast casserole recipe is customizable, too! Feel free to swap or add to the ham and green onions with whatever you have on hand. Crumbled sausage. crisp bacon, chopped sweet peppers, mushrooms, roasted garlic, canned Rotel tomatoes, ricotta cheese, sauteed spinach are just a few of the amazing possibilities!

Making tonight – I’m missing the cheese quantity. Not in ingredients but is in written instructions. Is the cheese to taste?

Hi……just wondering what size baking dish is best to use.
We will have approx. 7 adults for Christmas morning.
I am thinking I should double this recipe. Correct?

These look amazing! I’ve been wanting to try biscuit since becoming obsessed with American foods as a teenager, and this recipe is definitely swaying me to bite the bullet and get a try. Unfortunately biscuit dough isn’t a thing here in England, but I’ll have to see if I can find a recipe to make that, too, so I can properly give this a go! Thanks for sharing.
