Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, diced ham, chopped onion, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the melted butter over the hash brown mixture and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash brown layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious hash browns ham and egg bake!
