Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups, diced ham
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 small (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 can (4 oz), diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup, sliced green onions
- cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place 5 tortillas in the bottom of the baking dish, slightly overlapping to completely cover the base.
Layer half of the diced ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the diced green chilies over the tortillas.
Add another layer by repeating: 5 tortillas, the remaining diced ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and the rest of the diced green chilies.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered casserole, ensuring all areas are covered.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions evenly on top for added flavor and color.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking.
Bake the covered casserole in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy your make-ahead Brunch Ham Enchilada Casserole!
