I live in Spain so some of these ingredients were hard to come by. I dressed this recipe up a little by subbing a mild Emmenthal for the American cheese, french bread cubes (with crust) for the wonder bread, and a tablespoon of dijon mustard for the dry mustard. We did indeed have the casserole for Christmas morning, and really enjoyed it!

Very good! I think the ground mustard gives it an extra good flavor!

Simple recipe with loads of flavor. I took it to a brunch and everyone complimented me on it. Even people who said they normally don't like egg casseroles. I used sharp cheddar cheese as that is all I had, cubed ham instead of diced and cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it was really watery on the bottom after baking. I will make again but will probably add another egg or two.

This was quite good! Much easier than my previous breakfast casserole. I used Sara Lee Texas Toast and a couple of extra eggs. I also used shredded chedder instead of American cheese. I only had lunch cut Black Forest Ham which I cut up and still, this was a winner!!!

Recipe Group Selection for 11/8/2014 –I appreciated the simplicity of this recipe and how easy it is to adjust to your personal tastes. I substituted Johnsonville sweet sausage that I had browned instead of the ham, and topped with a mixture of different cheeses I needed to use up. I didn't bother to remove the crusts. It was filling and delicious - pure comfort food. This is a keeper.

As others said. This is a great basic recipe that can be altered to taste. I made it in muffin pans and cooked for about 35 minutes. That made it easy to serve and portion. Next time I will add green chilies for a little more flavor. Also, I used shredded cheddar cheese and had not liquid at the bottom. Yum!

Recipe Group: Solid breakfast recipe. I enjoyed it very much. The only change I made was to add a little bit of freshly ground white pepper. I did find it a bit salty, but that may be because we are not accustomed to eating American cheese. There was a little water at the bottom of the pan but not enough to concern me. I did only refrigerate for an hour before baking. Looking forward to leftovers for breakfast tomorrow :) Thanks for sharing your recipe, Karen!

Recipe Group Selection: 08, November 2022 ~ A very good basic breakfast casserole dish. I only had 6 slices of bread, so I did not cut the crust off the 6 pieces I had, to make up for the seventh piece. I used 1 cup of milk and 2 cups of Half and Half for the liquid. This baked up nicely and set up perfectly. I did let is rest for about 8 minutes before cutting. This was served with fresh fruit and 'Banana Plum Bread' from AR.
12/07/2017
The problem is you don't need 3 cups of milk - 2 is always what I use in all my egg casseroles - that's why this one's soggy
12/15/2014
Delicious! I make this for a work party brunch, everyone asked for the recipe. I used ground sausage instead of links (Jimmy Deans Country Style), and baked closer to 80 minutes since I used a smaller, deeper casserole dish. Perfect.
12/26/2014
This was a quick way to make Christmas breakfast. BUT my guys didn't like it!! It was a texture thing. I thought the flavor was good. I used 6 slices of wheat bread with the crusts on, jack cheese and turkey sausage for the ham. You can't beat the ease in the morning. Can't say I will make it again because of my picky kids but if you are looking for an easy tasty breakfast casserole this is a great choice.
04/14/2014
Easy to put together and delish in the morning!
12/24/2015
Excellent----we used Jimmy Dean's hot sausage instead of ham, and being in Texas where everything is spicy (supposedly), we serve salsa with it. Have served this for years, and now my kids serve it also. My son just brought us some for tomorrow a.m.
12/25/2015
I substituted raisin bread and it turned out AWESOME!!
12/18/2014
I had a ton of cheese left over that I was afraid to use because it was going to be all cheese and very little egg. I cut the cheese in half and doubled the egg. The point was to have an "egg" casserole. This is a good recipe and it's easy to modify it to your own preference.. and that's what I did.
12/24/2015
I make this every Christmas but I put 3 cups of crushed corn flakes mixed with 4 tablespoons melted butter on top before cooking for 40 minutes at 375. I make the whole thing the night before and just add the corn flakes and bake on Christmas morning Karen, NJ
01/02/2016
Hearty and delicious! I used one extra egg and simply layered a package of thinly sliced sandwich ham on the bottom. I also used a teaspoon of spicy brown mustard since I didn't have any dry mustard on hand. The bread was the Texas thick sliced white with the crust removed. I left the aluminum foil cover in place for the first 50 min and them removed it for the last 10. I did experience some of the liquid at the bottom that other cooks did, but it was minimal and easily drained with a small spoon. This one will be going into my favorites for another lazy weekend :-)
12/23/2015
This is our go to holiday breakfast casserole, however, we use Old English Cheese in the jar.
12/02/2014
Very good! I took this to a potluck brunch, everyone complimented the recipe and asked where they could find it. I used Colby Jack cheese instead of american cheese. Very mild flavor. Very Nice.
12/25/2015
This was probably the best breakfast casserole I have ever made. I did make some changes. I did not include the mustard, but might next time. I used bacon and a little bit of Jimmy Dean Sausage on the bottom layer (I didn't have ham), then hashbrowns (homemade with 3 small potatoes), then 1/2 the cheese, then more bacon, then the bread (which I cut to 3 slides of 7-grain bread because of the potatoes), then the rest of the cheese. It was outstanding!
12/07/2017
We make it with Jiffy Cornbread as the bottom layer, then eggs/ham/cheese on top. It only takes about 40 minutes to bake, and it's extraordinary.
12/10/2015
I had some frozen hamburger buns to use up so I used them instead of bread. Loved it! I also added green peppers and fresh spinach to get some veggies in.
12/29/2015
It turned out great. I used 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 cups of milk. I doubled the eggs and it served 10 people.
12/27/2015
This recipe was a HIT with the family! The recipe provided here was the perfect base for me to adapt with touches of my own. I used crumbled sausage instead of ham, I used day-old cubed baguette bread instead of sliced white bread, and I added cheddar cubes with the American cheese. I used a square glass pan and baked it at 325 for just under 2 hours to make sure it cooked through (since it would be thicker than described in the recipe). This recipe was delicious inspiration for a casserole that everybody loved. Thank you!
12/25/2015
Great recipe, easy to make and delicious! I am gluten and dairy free so I modified it using almond milk, gluten free bread and almond milk cheddar style cheese and it was wonderful! I only had 4 slices of bread on hand so I also added a cup of thawed frozen shredded potatoes. Will definitely make again.
12/12/2016
I have made this for at least 3 years now and am planning on making it again this year. Super easy, make the night before then pull it out of the fridge and pop in the oven while we're opening presents and then have a yummy breakfast-perfect! I do use shredded Mild Cheddar cheese and upped the eggs to 8-otherwise I follow the recipe. Sorry I haven't reviewed before now.
12/24/2015
My family has made this for at least 30 years but we use sausage links instead of the ham.
01/02/2016
So, my mother made this every year for our family on Christmas morning except instead of using ham, we would put strips of bacon on top. I have not gone one year without eating this for Christmas breakfast. The ham was also delicious!
12/24/2015
Did not make no change except added spices. Thank you for this Family recipe. And have a Merry Christmas.
01/04/2020
First attempt. Followed to a T and it was way too watery. Second attempt. Used 2 cups milk and 8 eggs. A lot less watery Needs a bit more time than the 60 minutes. Next time may use half milk and 8 eggs. Everyone liked it
01/10/2016
...used this as a basic recipe to use up some leftover potatoes, ham, and grilled onions - Sauteed these together to reheat, added chopped spinach, jalapeno, garlic salt, black pepper, then eggs and finally folded in some Italian blend shredded cheese as it started to set up. Served in bowl with topping of more of the shredded cheese. Only took about 10 minutes to cook instead of an hour. Yummy!
01/14/2018
Loved the dish, will definitely make this again!
01/04/2018
As simple as the ingredients are, they blend together in an irresistible way...tasting even better a day or two later. I was tempted to make changes while assembling this for the first time, but decided to try the recipe on its own merits. I won't change a thing. Delicious as is! Super yum! xox
12/11/2016
Tasty but runny. I cooked it 10 minutes longer than suggested but it was too wet. Not the preferred dish at the brunch. But very tasty. Reheated it next day on stovetop to release the water. Was better but then just one more scrambled egg dish.
12/07/2017
We've made this recipe for years. It is the best. Works well with bacon, too. Remember, if you purchase diced ham you must remove the water from the ham. We microwave the ham between several paper towels.
12/30/2015
Perhaps it was the juices from the ham I used, but there was quite a bit of liquid in the bottom of the casserole which made the casserole to soggy to eat.
12/27/2016
The step of buttering the slices of bread and then cubing them was very time consuming because the butter just stuck to the knife. My guests really liked the creaminess of the casserole.
12/08/2017
Been making this recipe since the mid 1970's, Occasionally I would add an extra egg, depending on egg size. Kids loved it...and first kid up turned the oven on to preheat. it so they didn't have to wait too long for breakfast.
12/27/2015
This was a big thumbs down at our home. I think it called for too much liquid. It cooked at 350 degrees for 1hr (I have an oven temperature gage & it read 350 when I put it in). It looked beautiful & golden brown when I took it out. But, the bread was soggy, it wasn't slimy (thank goodness) so it was cooked all the way through, but it tasted too wet & too much like bread. I scrapped the whole top off & threw it out & saved as much of the ham, that I could. I put the chopped ham on a pan & browned it on the stove top. I'm so glad I had extra eggs in the fridge. I scrambled some eggs & served the chopped ham as a side.
12/27/2015
It was ok. The bread was kind of gooey-ish. Everyone ate it, but wouldn't make it again.
12/19/2018
I added a finely chopped yellow bell pepper, used sourdough bread and monterey jack cheese. Got asked for the recipe!
12/25/2016
This egg casserole is so easy and delicious. I used cheddar cheese instead of American but that was the only substitution I made. I'll definitely make this again.
11/22/2018
Perfect for both Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Light, for those holidays with bigger meals later in the day, but filling enough were people won't be picking at all your food while you are cooking later. Delicious with white sharp cheddar cheese and a little pepper. My family loves this!
12/22/2018
Fantastic- I ran out of milk and only did 1 cup and so it was very dense but still delicious. I also used hashbrowns as a base as well as the bread and my husband loved it. I didn't have mustard powder and so substituted grey poupon which I wouldn't recommend but it worked in a pinch.
12/30/2019
Love this recipe! We have this as our Christmas Breakfast every year and my kids look forward to it as do I.
12/26/2015
Good...added salt pepper and used Turkey kielbasa instead of ham. Went over very well with the family.
12/28/2015
This casserole was delicious. My only change: I added a little chopped onion, green and red peppers. After all, it is a Christmas casserole! Will definitely make this again.
04/16/2017
Definitely something I will make again real soon. The whole family loved it.
12/25/2015
Truly excellent! I used Colby jack cheese. Made this for Christmas eve breakfast and enjoyed it Christmas morning too! I used some semi-stale French bread, excellent texture.
01/01/2016
I've added bacon and mushroom , omg delicious
12/24/2015
I make a variation of this same recipe. However, I omit the salt due to there being enough in the ham and I add sliced pimento stuffed olives and a small can of sliced mushrooms. I also use sharp cheddar cheese. I used to butter my bread but I no longer think it's necessary and I put the bread on the bottom layer and then go from there. I've tried other recipes but my family still prefers this one.
01/17/2016
My husband actually liked it and he never likes anything that I like!
12/25/2015
I don't know what kind of bread was originally used when creating this recipe (hopefully, not plain old white sandwich bread.) I used sourdough rye bread (with the seeds) for flavor & texture. I also added a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder, and some fresh minced parsley. It was very tasty after making my personal adjustments.
10/10/2016
The entire family loved it!!
12/25/2015
Very good, easy casserole. I used about 1/2 of a soft, french loaf of bread (had an extra loaf on hand that I needed to use) and 8oz sharp, shredded cheddar (had on hand) and it turned out great! Will make again.
12/25/2017
Made this exactly as described except I left the crusts on, and it was a huge hit. I've never used American cheese in a casserole before, but I'm glad I did. I've made it again for today, Christmas morning. Thank you for the recipe!
12/25/2015
I've made this -- but used Croutons instead... put the Croutons in the pan -- pour over the egg mixture -- it was much better with the Croutons.
12/24/2015
I know this recipe as "Cheese Pouf" and love it. It's my go-to breakfast/brunch dish for a crowd.
12/08/2017
I have made almost this exact recipe for over 30 years. The only difference is that I use cheddar cheese. A Christmas morning must have!
12/07/2017
This is the brunch casserole my Gram made every Christmas.We lost her three years ago and seeing this recipe brings me right back to the good aromas and joy of being with her in the kitchen.Thank you for the wonderful reminder! The only changes she made was using shredded mild cheddar,an extra slice of bread,and greasing the pan with butter instead of cooking spray. Both are delicious though!
01/24/2018
I made half a recipe. I listened to the other reviews and cut the milk down, i used almond milk. I also switched mushroom, green bell pepper, onion, and tomato in in place of the ham. Instead of salt and dry mustard, I used some oregano and a couple drops of dijon mustard. I left the butter out altogether. Lastly i used vegan cheese and probably alot less. I like it, it has a satisfying easy taste with just enough zing, my mom is less impressed (she wanted ham, salt, pepper, and lots of real cheese! XD) admittedly pepper probably would be a good idea. I plan to make it again. ^.^
01/01/2019
This is a good, solid recipe. I made it as written, except that I cut it in half, making four servings instead of eight. I also followed the advice of others and used less milk -- in my case, that meant 1 cup instead of 1 1/2. There was no sogginess. Now that I've tried it as written, here's what I'd do differently next time: 1. Continue using the smaller amount of milk. 2. Omit the salt altogether, because the ham is plenty salty already. 3. Add some black pepper. 4. Add some finely chopped green and red bell pepper for a "Christmasy" look. 5. Bake it on a lower rack in the oven, because the top of mine got browner than I'd have preferred. All of that, though, is just fine-tuning. This recipe is a keeper, and who knows, maybe we'll make it on one of the other 364 days of the year!
12/25/2017
I think I will make it again. I accidentally buttered both sides of the bread but that was fine. I also let it sit in the refrigerator for like 3 more day and then cooked it.It was really good it just had a lot of water at the bottom.(:
11/04/2018
I used bacon and sausage instead of ham and it turned out pretty good. I also cut the recipe in half which I think made it just a little dry.
12/27/2017
After reading the reviews I opted for using a baguette rather than sliced bread, which I think added a nice texture and consistency. I used sliced American cheese mixed with cheddar and this was a mistake. The sliced cheese did not melt well and did not go well with the dish. In the future I will stick with cheddar or I may try goat's cheese or other types of cheese. I considered substituting bacon for ham, but went with ham which went very well with the eggs and melted cheese. Happy cooking!
12/12/2017
Make this every year- but I use spicy sausage and add half and half or heavy whipping cream. I also sprinkle chives or green onions on top .
12/12/2017
Total junk food. I make this type of thing with hearty bread (whole wheat/sourdough combo) and with sharp cheddar and low fat heart healthy Canadian bacon. I get raves.
12/16/2017
A very nice breakfast to wake up to and very easy to make. Although I'm not sure why the crust needed to be cut off the bread or why the bread needed to be buttered (there's already oil in the cheese, fat in the ham, and non-stick spray on the dish). It seems like those two steps could be skipped and still get the same good results. Also, I prefer cheddar cheese instead of American and, to save time, I used an 8 oz. bag of shredded cheddar instead of cutting a block of cheese into cubes.
01/07/2018
I used leftover airy bread from the bakery and a mild white cheddar. I also halved the recipe and cooked it in a glass pie dish. It came out decadent!
12/18/2021
A complete soggy mess. I followed the directions with no deviations. Had to toss! What a waste of ingredients.
01/09/2021
Everyone enjoyed this, but no one asked for the recipe. It was kind of more liquidy than preferred, like it needed something additional added. Might possibly try this with hash brown potatoes mixed in next time.
12/25/2020
Perfect for Christmas morning, just take it from the fridge and pop it in the oven. I made a half recipe since it's just my wife and I. I also left the crust on the bread and used shredded cheese. I had ham in the freezer that I cooked for thanksgiving so I used that as well. I didn't have to go shopping for anything. It turned out wonderful!
12/29/2020
Loved this all I had was a breakfast sausage roll so I cooked it and used that in place of the ham and it was a huge hit!!
12/25/2020
Jimmy dean sausage. Bread as described. Chopped salami on top of bread. Layer of cubed Swiss. Layer of cubed cheddar. Layer of cubed valveeta. Sprinkled chopped green and red peppers and mushrooms. Used only 2 cups milk. Accidentally added 3/4 cumin. If not for small children, I would add onions and chorizo. Turned out AMAZING! Will save this forever!
12/28/2017
I made this recipe with the following adjustments: used 8 eggs, 1 tsp. dry mustard, 1/2 American and 1/2 Sharp Cheddar Cheese, sour dough bread, bacon instead of ham. Everyone in my family loved it. Thanks
11/21/2018
Definitely a go to recipe
12/12/2017
I used Munster cheese, sausage, and added tomatoes.
12/10/2017
This recipe is so good and I plan on making it for my family this Christmas when we are all together. I did make a few changes like leaving the bread crust on and omitting the butter. I added sautéed onion, red pepper, minced garlic, Swiss chard, finely chopped summer squash, and an organic seasoning called Herbie, that I use when cooking.
12/16/2019
I changed the recipe to include the Spanish lady's changes. French bread, emmentaler cheese, and I did cut the milk to 2 cups because we live at 6000 feet. Also I also added the mild canned chili's from COSTCO.
12/18/2021
This has been my go-to breakfast casserole for many years. It is an excellent base, and we have made many variations over the years. I add a couple extra eggs to offset veggies and keep the casserole firm and fluffy. Breakfast sausage, bacon, ham or chorizo or substituting old English cheese or cheddar are also excellent additions. Base recipe is very good, but perhaps a little bland for our tastes. Sausage, ham, or bacon alleviates any need for salt, but we like a little blended seasonings. Can't really go wrong with this one.
12/17/2021
I put the bread on the bottom first, as it holds the dish together better. Also I often use ground sausage or bacon bits. The key is putting the cheese on after the meat, then pour the eggs over all of it. For a flavor change I add salsa to the top during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
12/26/2020
I wanted to like this casserole but was disappointed. I took the advice on other reviews and increased the eggs and cut the milk in half. Was still too much liquid. The bottom was standing liquid although the eggs were set. The bread was too soggy.
12/12/2017
We absolutely love this casserole and will continue to make it. We may even change it up and add bacon or sausage
12/26/2018
This recipe turned out great and was super easy. I really like the versatility of this recipe. You can use any type of bread or cheese or spice combination and I plan on using cooked ground sausage next time I make this recipe!
01/03/2018
Super easy to make and everyone loved it! It was a comfort food of eggs perfect for Christmas morning!
01/21/2020
This egg bake turned out fluffy and beautiful. It was a little bland, so will probably add some more spices the next time.
01/11/2016
Made per recipes. It was really delicious. But next time we are going to try some different ingredients. Kids loved it.
02/22/2019
Great breakfast casserole, very easy and versatile. Can use sausage instead of ham. I mixed the bread directly into the custard and baked the assembled dish immediately. Went over very well with my guy who hates "weird egg things". Thanks so much.
12/30/2019
No changes. Delicious
12/12/2017
My husband and I love this. I made it just the at it said.
12/30/2018
Made as directed. No changes. It met our expectations and then some. Will definitely be on our company weekend menus.
01/06/2018
Serve with salsa...Yum.
12/25/2017
It was a little soggy. I will have to try it again in the bottom rack of the oven.
01/01/2018
I changed it up and only used 2 cups of milk and used Swiss cheese - Quiche Lorraine Casserole - I will be making it again
01/31/2019
I changed up this recipe a bit and it was fun and tasty. Instead of bread, I used plain mini-bagels and instead of baking, I make them in a waffle maker. Just the right amount of crunch and a moist middle.
12/26/2018
Easy prep and oh-so yummy! I added chopped green onion and diced red bell pepper before putting in the oven for a festive look; it really made the whole dish come together. Yummm!
12/17/2021
This is an old favorite of our family as well! I use Kraft Old English Cheese Spread instead of American Cheese.
12/25/2020
Easy to make .Good to eat. A little on the bland side. Will try some seasoning salt next time
01/10/2022
One hour bake is about twice longer than this recipe should be.. they're just eggs!
