Ham and Cheese Breakfast Bars

By srumbel

These breakfast bars are super easy to make and taste amazing! You can serve them hot right out of the oven or even at room temperature, much like a quiche. And I’m going to let you in on a little secret; I actually prefer these bars cold! In addition to a fabulous breakfast, they make the perfect afternoon snack. Paired with a glass of milk, these breakfast bars are hard to beat!
