Ingredients

  • 5 cups cubed french bread
  • 2 cups frozen diced potatoes I like the ones with peppers and onions mixed in
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. 
  • Spray a 10 cup bundt pan with nonstick spray
  • In the bundt pan, layer the cubed bread.
  • Top with a layer of potatoes.
  • Next add the ham, spinach, and green onions.
  • Add half the cheese.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cream, and seasonings.
  • Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture of the layers and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Cover with a flat plate and invert.
  • Take cake pan off and slice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a more buttery flavor, you can use cooked biscuit dough in place of french bread.
  • Want to add more veggies to your meals? Try throwing in some tomatoes, spinach, and bell peppers (green peppers are my personal favorite for this recipe).
  • No bundt pan? Use a casserole dish or loaf pan instead. Be sure to adjust the cooking time and frequently check on your dish, to make sure you’re not undercooking or overcooking.
  • Allowing your breakfast casserole to cool for 20 - 25 minutes before trying to remove it from the pan is going to give you the best results.
  • Once you’ve done this, you can flip it onto a serving tray, and let it cool down to room temperature for the perfect bundt pan shape.
  • A sweet bundt cake can be made by using Hawaiian sweet rolls - I recommend adding in a little orange zest to this mixture as well.
