Breakfast casseroles filled with potatoes, cheese, ham, and eggs have been a family favorite for as many years as I can remember. These muffin cup sized breakfast casseroles are an awesome make-ahead meal that freezes and reheats perfectly. (That is if you can manage to actually save a few for the freezer!)
The first time I made these mini casseroles, I had a baked potato leftover from dinner the previous night and a whole lot of ham waiting to be used. One thing led to another and within half an hour I was taking these awesome breakfast muffins out of the oven. My kids and I managed to eat almost this whole recipe within minutes.
Since then, I’ve learned to always make extra potatoes for dinner and most leftover breakfast meats work well in these too. I’ve made these muffins countless times over the past few years. Served with some fresh fruit or a salad, this makes a light and very simple meal that is often repeated at my house, whether for breakfast or dinner.
Kitchen Tip: I use this muffin tin, this bowl, and these measuring cups to make this recipe.Get New Recipessent to your inbox!Sign me up!We never share your information with third parties and will protect it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
