Recipe: Breakfast Casserole

This recipe is one of my all time favorites, and it is super easy. It's not the quickest recipe, but it's one you can pop in the oven, go do something else for 45 minutes, and come back.  

Ingredients:
1 bag of hash browns
1 pack of cubed ham (or bacon bits or chunks of bacon. or all of it!)
8 eggs
1 4cup bag of shredded cheese
1 can of crescents
nonstick spray

Kitchen Tools:
13x9 glass casserole dish
Wisk
Aluminum foil

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees

Spray the bottom and sides of your dish with non-stick spray and unroll the crescents like so:

Next, layer ham chunks (and other add-ins), hashbrowns, cheese and repeat two more times, finishing with cheese. It will look something like this:

You'll then crack eight eggs and wisk to break the yolks. Feel free to use the equivalent measurements of egg beaters, egg whites, etc. Pour evenly on top of the casserole. While it bakes, it will seep into the casserole and cause it to all bake together. With the egg, it will look like so:

Lastly, cover it and cook it for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, slice it so the egg inside is exposed and switch your oven to broil. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-20 minutes, as long as it takes to get the egg to be "non-jiggly" and the cheese all melty. 

I never get a chance to take pictures of the finished product because it gets eaten so quickly, but I assure you it's delicious. Let me know what spins you add. I know of some people who add a layer of cooked bell peppers and onions, where some use chunk potatoes. I'd love to see what you make of it!
