Mornings typically fly by in a blur in the Kohl house. Breakfast is often grabbed on the run and may include a piece of fruit and a cup of yogurt or cottage cheese. When we finally get the chance to slow down on the weekends, we love to sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast like this Western Omelette Casserole.
Breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated and that is one of the things I love about baked breakfast dishes. This casserole is quick and easy to prep and the ingredients are easily interchangeable to fit your family’s tastes.
The other thing I love about this casserole is that it uses eggs from Great Day Farms and ham from Petit Jean Meats. Both of these companies are big supporters of Arkansas Women Bloggers.
I do raise my own chickens but they typically take a break from laying eggs during the shorter daylight of winter. When I don’t have my own fresh eggs, I always buy the Great Day Farms Cage Free eggs.
