A delightful and easy-to-make breakfast casserole that combines hearty ingredients for a satisfying start to your day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Starting with a preheated oven ensures even cooking.
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Using cooking spray prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Layer the frozen hash browns evenly in the baking dish.
Press the hash browns slightly to create a uniform layer.
Sprinkle the diced onion, green bell pepper, and turkey ham over the hash browns.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, salt, and pepper.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a smooth mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
Pour slowly to ensure the mixture spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Adding cheese on top creates a delicious golden crust.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
Chilling overnight allows the flavors to meld together.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is firm.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting helps the casserole set, making it easier to slice.
