Cheesy Ham and Asparagus Bake
This asparagus and ham casserole is one you have to try, even if you think you don't like asparagus. It is a wonderfully easy quiche-like casserole to throw together for breakfast. This can be prepared the night before, covered, and put in the refrigerator overnight. Just be sure to allow extra cook time.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chopped cooked ham
- 1 10 ounce package frozen cut asparagus, thawed
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ teaspoon dried tarragon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Combine ham, asparagus, onion, and bell pepper in the prepared baking dish. Beat eggs, milk, flour, Parmesan, tarragon, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; pour over ham mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle top with Cheddar cheese; continue baking until cheese melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
This can be prepared ahead of time, up through Step 2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Just be sure to allow 15 to 20 minutes of extra baking time.
