This easy, cheesy casserole has made appearances at holiday breakfasts, potlucks and even my daughter's college apartment to feed her hungry roommates. It's my go-to recipe for action-packed mornings. —Patty Bernhard, Greenville, Ohio
Pressure-Cooker Ham & Cheddar Breakfast Casserole Recipe photo by Taste of Home
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cups Kerrygold shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup water
Directions
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Combine the potatoes, ham, onion and cheese; transfer to a greased 2-qt. souffle or round baking dish; pour egg mixture over top.
Pour water into a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Cover baking dish with foil. Place on a trivet with handles; lower into pressure cooker. Lock lid; make sure vent is closed.
Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 35 minutes. When finished cooking, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure according to the manufacturer's directions. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Test Kitchen tips
No time for chopping? Use frozen chopped onion to speed things up.
Other cooked breakfast meats, such as turkey or pork sausage and bacon crumbles, will work well in this recipe.

I actually used a 1.75 qt round pyrex baking dish (larger than the recommended size) and I didn't even come close to fitting all of the ham, cheese, onion, or potatoes in it. Also, I tried using Cashew milk instead of dairy milk and that didn't work.

I wish I would have read the comments before I made this! I cut the recipe in half and it still did not cook all of the way through! We ended up trying to finish it in the microwave. This is definitely a recipe that is not a keeper.
