Ham & Mozzarella Brunch Bake

Submitted by Amy020

"This is from Betty Crocker's "Easy Family Dinners." Made it this morning for breakfast and DH and 5 year old both ate it up! I substituted low fat or fat free ingredients at every opportunity (egg product, l/f cheese, l/f cream cheese, etc.) and it was a great high-protein meal!"

Everyone enjoyed it! Not as heavy or greasy as other breakfast casseroles. I used regular cream cheese and added some minced green onion and onion salt. This is more like 12 servings for my family. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This recipe was made & served recently as both breakfast & dinner along with teatimetory's recipe #308501 ~ A BIG HIT at both times! Want to make this one again, but a healthier version of it, for sure! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
