  • Really, whatever you like!

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Place hash browns in a single layer in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and ham (or other toppings).
• In large bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and mustard until well-scrambled. Pour egg mixture over cheese and other toppings.

Tips & Tricks

• You can make this egg bake the night before and bake it in the morning. It may take slightly longer to cook if you put it in the oven straight from the fridge. You can always turn the oven up 25 degrees to speed up the process towards the end.
