After I tried this breakfast casserole, I stopped looking for another egg bake recipe. It is so easy and so versatile. It can be assembled the night before for easy morning baking. This casserole can be baked it in an oven or smoked on a pellet grill. Use this casserole to feed a crowd, or use it for leftover breakfast for a few days.

Breakfast Casserole Ingredients:
- 10 eggs
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups diced cooked or smoked ham
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1 dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
For best results used leftover smoked ham!
How to make easy breakfast casserole
Crack all of the eggs in a mixing bowl, whisk lightly. Add the milk, whisk again. Mix in remaining ingredients.
Pour into a greased 9×13 inch Pyrex baking dish.
Preheat oven or Traeger to 350 degrees F. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until the eggs are set.
Can you use Pyrex on a pellet grill?
Pyrex is rated to 425 degrees, but I never go higher than 400 degrees when I use a 9×13 inch Pyrex baking dish on my Traeger Silverton 620 because the temperature does fluctuate + or – 10 degrees. It is also important to make sure you keep you grill clean to avoid flare ups from grease fires.
Can you prepare breakfast casserole the night before?
Yes, this recipe can be prepared the night before. Overnight directions: After you pour ingredients into the greased 9×13 inch Pyrex baking dish, place the lid on the dish and store the prepared/unbaked casserole in the refrigerator overnight. Remove it from the refrigerator in the morning, remove the lid and bake or smoke it. Note this may increase the baking time slightly.
How do you reheat egg bake?
This casserole can make mornings easier because it makes great leftovers. Just cut a piece, put it on a microwave safe plate, cover, and microwave for 45 -60 seconds. Easy breakfast in 1 minute or less!
Optional Variations
Swap out the ham for 1 pound of browned bulk breakfast sausage or chorizo. Drain the sausage and allow it to cook for 5-10 minutes before mixing it into the eggs.
Swap out the onions for peppers, spinach or mushrooms!
Swap out the cheddar cheese for any cheese you like! If you try goat cheese, I would recommend slicing it on top, rather than mixing it in.
Get creative!
