“I love to add some flare to my egg casseroles…whether it be a particular spice, or a bold and delicious cheese.”

I loved the balance of flavors and textures in this egg casserole.  The crushed red pepper gives a hint of heat. The paprika brings a bit of smoky sweetness, and the ham and broccoli work perfectly with the rich and deep flavor of the extra-sharp cheddar cheese.

Directions

In a mixing bowl, toss together the cut English muffin pieces with the broccoli florets, diced ham and about 3/4 cup of the shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese. Once tossed, pour into the baking dish.

In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, paprika and crushed red pepper.  Add in a few dashes of salt and pepper as well.

Pour the egg mixture over top of the ingredients in the baking dish.  Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
