How to Serve

A rectangular baked egg casserole sits in a silver baking pan, with a smooth top layer of bright yellow eggs mixed evenly with small bits of orange melted cheese and reddish-brown cooked bacon pieces scattered throughout. Thin slices of green onion rings are spread lightly across the egg layer, adding small touches of green color and texture. The edges of the casserole are slightly raised and firm, showing a well-cooked finish, while the middle appears soft and moist. The pan rests on a white marbled surface, surrounded by a few kitchen items including a small bowl with cheese in the top right corner, a glass bowl with chopped ham on the far right, scattered fresh green onion pieces, and a pepper shaker to the left.

Egg Mixture

  • 18 large eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
  • ½ cup ham, cubed
  • ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • ¼ cup green onions, diced
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush a 12×18-inch rimmed baking sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  2. Mix Eggs and Cream: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together using a hand mixer or whisk until fully combined but stop before the mixture becomes frothy to maintain a tender texture.
  3. Pour Mixture onto Sheet: Transfer the egg and cream mixture evenly into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out uniformly.
  4. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the cubed ham, crumbled bacon, diced green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture for balanced flavor in every bite.
  5. Bake the Eggs: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, rotate the pan to ensure even cooking, then continue baking for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and no longer jiggle when gently shaken.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into 12 pieces for large servings or 16 for smaller portions. Serve warm for best taste.
