Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Prepare the Ingredients
Grate the Monterey Jack Cheese. Chop ham into small cubes.
Assemble the Egg Casserole
Arrange hash browns evenly on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with grated cheese and chopped ham.
In a small bowl, whisk together the large eggs, half and half cream, dried minced onion, dried chives or parsley, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over potatoes and ham. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes until eggs are set in the middle. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8-10
Notes
*Because the baking dish has been refrigerated and is cold, it's good practice to place the cold dish in a cold oven that has not been preheated. Otherwise, the dish may crack due to the sudden temperature change.
