Ingredients
1 cup chopped ham
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon flour
6 eggs
2 cups milk or cream
½ teaspoon dried mustard
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
If cooking the casserole right away, preheat oven to 350° F.
Cut the ham into bite-size pieces.
Next, combine the ham with 2 cups shredded cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 Tablespoon flour in a large bowl.
After that, spray a 13×9 baking dish lightly with cooking spray. Then, spread the ham mixture evenly.
Melt 1/4 cup butter and drizzle over the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk 6 eggs, 2 cups milk or cream, 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Finally, pour the egg mixture over the ham mixture into the baking dish.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. You know that it is ready by inserting a knife into the center of the dish. If it comes out clean, you are good to go!
Notes
For extra color and flavor, you can add 1 cup chopped onion and 1 cup chopped red bell pepper to the mixture. It lends a more traditional Western Omelette flavor to the dish.
Also, you can sprinkle the casserole with sliced green onions before baking to add flavor and a touch of green.
