Great recipe! I tinkered with it ever so slightly, as other reviewers suggested...5 eggs instead of 4, less butter and ham, more croutons...and knowing me, probably more cheese! The resulting casserole was very yummy! I used seasoned croutons and mild cheddar cheese, but it might be interesting to use different flavors to mix it up a bit. I think I might even try bacon next time instead of ham! Thanks for the recipe!

This was excellent, wonderful flavor. I cooked it in a loaf pan and had no trouble with too dry. The boyfriend actually commented on how tasty it was, and he's not into eggs! I made it as stated, except had no croutons so I just cut up a piece of toast. Nommy! UPDATE: This time I am trying to clean out the fridge, so I added some cottage cheese, half a green pepper, a chopped roma tomato, a little spinach and some basil. Used toast again and had white cheddar on hand. Popped it in the fridge about 4 pm and threw it in the oven at 6:45. Took about an hour to cook with all the extra stuff-and I had to dump out a LOT of extra grease-but turned out great! Much richer with the cottage cheese.

I made this casserole for Christmas morning. It was fantastic. I had eight people here and they all loved it. I made a separate small casserole with egg beaters and less ham for my father-in-law who has to watch his cholesterol and salt intake. I followed the advice of the first reviewer and added more egg. I also used the butter Pam instead. It was perfect. I am going to continue to make this for a quick morning breakfast as it was also great reheated.

I give it four stars because it is easy, low calorie (especially as far as traditional breakfast foods/casseroles go), and can be made ahead of time. As a result of those factors, I make it all the time. As far as taste goes, I've had better, but it's worth it to me to cut the calories and cook with ease.

I was too tired to prepare it the night before but I don't think that mattered. Wegmans only had maple-cured ham that day and that sweetness did not work with the savory, i.e., use plain ham only. Overall, my guests liked it, but it was really nothing special.

I served this Christmas morning and it got rave reviews; just about everyone had seconds. I followed the suggestions and reduced the butter to two to three tablespoons, increased the croutons (essentially having one layer of croutons at the bottom of the dish) and cheese by 20%. Additionally, I sprayed the casserole dish with a cooking spray which kept it from sticking too badly. I doubled the recipe (8 eggs) and found that an 8x12 pan worked fairly well; a little smaller would also be fine but would probably take longer to bake. The next time I'll probably add some diced red or green peppers for color, and perhaps some chopped scallions. I'm very salt sensitive and found the recipe a bit salty given the amount of ham, cheese and croutons, but it was not excessively so. If you really dislike salty foods, I suggest using low sodium cheese and/or making your own croutons.

Really great recipe! Used Morningstar sausage patties instead of ham for a veggie option, and it was dee-lish! Super easy recipe, and perfect for popping in the oven on Christmas morning like we did!

So easy and great tasting. The bonus for me is that this is a breakfast casserole dish feeding four, as opposed to 40. :)

Great recipe to use as a basic. I only had enough dry mustard for 1 pan, but made 2. The 2nd pan, I just threw in several different spices (one of which was Tastefully Simple's Spinach and Herb mis), and that one was better than the plain one. However, my sister who doesn't prefer real flavorful stuff preferred the one where I followed the recipe. I really appreciate having a recipe that is a great basic that I can add to and enjoy many variations of. I added more croutons - maybe used a cup total? And a bit more than a cup of ham. SO tasty! Thanks!

This was a very good breakfast and i loved the fact you can make it the night before. I agree with the other users that you should not use so much butter and i think I might even try bacon bits the ham seemed to be a bit much

Very YUMMY! My fiance and I have made it 3 times already since discovering it! I've even tried baking it immediately after preparing it, as opposed to letting it sit for a while, and it turned out just as good. I've also used ripped up hamburger bun pieces instead of croutons and that worked fine too. I now cut down on the amount of butter as previous reviewers suggested and the casserole is much less greasy. Oh yes, I also use 5 eggs and a tad more milk to fill the pan a bit more, but the casserole fluffs up a bit while baking. Thanks for the great recipe!

Very good - would give it 5 stars but I did make some alterations. First, I used about 1 1/2 cups of croutons, 5 eggs and 1 cup of milk. Otherwise, the casserole would have been very flat in an 8x8 dish. I used crumbled bacon instead of ham, and with the butter and cheese, the casserole was a bit greasy so next time I would cut down on the butter a bit. Would also possibly add some diced onions for extra flavor. Overall, a very easy and tasty recipe. WILL make again! ***UPDATE***Made again without butter (coated croutons with butter flavored cooking spray). Tasted just as good but a lot less greasy. Also rolled the crumbled bacon in paper towel to remove some grease.

I made this for Thanksgiving brunch. It was very simple and delicious. I scaled it to 12 servings and used a little more croutons that called for because I used chorizo sausage instead of ham. Chorizo is very greasy! I also made my own croutons from fresh mini loaves (white & wheat). Everyone loved the casserole, even the kids! I will use this recipe again.

YUM!!!!! This is a great and easy recipe to make for breakfast! I did add 6 eggs insted of 4 and used 1 cup of milk instead of 3/4 to avoid any "burning" of the croutons. I have made this three times now and each time I try something new..I'll add green and red bell peppers and onions and the next I added fresh sliced mushrooms. Very Tasty! In fact, I plan to double the recipe and make for the upcoming Easter holiday. Thank you Pat!

I made this Christmas morning. Did not have croutons so I put some bread in the oven and toasted it and then cubed it and used that. Delicious! This recipe is definitely a keeper, and one that I'll use again and again. Everyone loved it!

Mine came out dry and almost burnt...I even had to put foil over it for the last 10 minutes for fear of a blackened top. An 8x8 baking dish was much to big for this recipe. I wish I'd tried it in a 1 1/2 qt dish, but I won't be making it again to see if it's any better. Sorry. :o(
