What is a Western Omelet?
This egg dish typically has onion, green pepper and ham.
Breakfast casseroles are great because you can eat them all day long. They are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And the BEST part is that they can be made the night before and baked in the morning.
How to make western omelet breakfast casserole
- To make, start by sauteing the vegetables. I place all of the chopped veggies in a skillet and cook them until they are tender. Make sure to drain any excess liquid the vegetables might have.
- Spread the hash browns out over the bottom of a baking dish and top with cooked vegetables, ham and cheese.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper and then pour over top. Cover the dish and place in refrigerator.
- The casserole can sit for several hours up to overnight. When you are ready to eat, bake for 50-60 minutes and then serve. I also like serving this with sliced tomatoes on top for added color and taste.
This breakfast casserole is great for holidays. Assemble before you go to bed, wake up and pop it in the oven for 50-60 minutes.
