Oven-Roasted Savory Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sautéed onions
- Savory spices (optional: thyme, basil, or rosemary to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, asparagus, and diced bell peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes or until they begin to soften. Stir in the spinach until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the heat and set aside.

3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half cream, dry mustard, seasoned salt, salt, pepper, and any additional savory spices you like. Ensure the mixture is well combined.

4. Layer the Casserole
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Begin by layering the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the diced ham over the potatoes. Add the sautéed vegetables, sliced black olives, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

5. Add the Cheese
Evenly distribute the cheddar, Pepper Jack, and Swiss cheese over the layered ingredients.

6. Pour the Egg Mixture
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it seeps through to the bottom layers.

7. Topping
Sprinkle the green onions over the top for a fresh finish.

8. Bake the Casserole
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

9. Rest and Serve
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
