Ingredients

1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
6 green onions, chopped
1-3/4 cups cubed fully cooked ham
8 large eggs
1-3/4 cups 2% milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Sprinkle cheeses into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms, red pepper and green onions until tender. Stir in ham; spoon over cheese.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper; pour over ham mixture. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Health Tip: If your guests don’t eat meat, leave out the ham and toss in more veggies (you’ll also save 300mg sodium per serving).

Very tasty - loved the vegetables! I baked it longer than the recipe called for, until the edges were very slightly browned. My guests loved it, too, and it's a bonus that it's relatively low-cal compared to other egg dishes with more carbs.

Not my favorite recipe. Folks at work seemed to like, but I didn't care for the texture.
