The sight of a Denver omelet freshly slid from a hot skillet to a big plate is a glorious thing indeed. Those cubes of ham, shreds of cheese, and bits of bell pepper are a calling card for satisfaction. You know you have a fine meal in store, preferably with toast, hashbrowns, and a big cup of coffee at the ready.

This Denver omelet hashbrown casserole is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to labor at a home omelet station when guests are around. All the standard ingredients go into a baking dish bulked up with handy frozen hash browns.

You can assemble it ahead of time or throw it together right before serving. It’s a great way to use up some leftover ham, so bust it out for a special breakfast the day after a big holiday meal–or make it on a weeknight since it’s easy and so, so satisfying.

All the Egg-y Casseroles

Preheat the oven to 350°F. 

Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cook the ham and vegetables:

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the ham, onion, and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham starts to brown and onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Make the casserole: 

Stir the hash browns, pepper Jack cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Evenly spoon the hashbrown mixture into the prepared dish. Top evenly with ham mixture. 

Whisk the eggs, milk, sour cream, hot sauce, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 pepper in a large bowl until combined. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham mixture. Evenly sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
