Ingredients:
- 2-3 cups ham, diced
- 1 package frozen broccoli cuts
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup American cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Prepare Broccoli: Cook the frozen broccoli according to the directions on the package, ensuring it is cooked until tender. Once cooked, drain the broccoli well and set aside.
-
Layer Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan generously to prevent sticking. Begin by creating layers in the prepared pan: first, spread out the diced ham evenly across the bottom. Next, distribute the cooked broccoli cuts over the ham layer. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and American cheeses on top of the broccoli layer.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, and salt until well combined. This mixture will bind the layers together and create a creamy texture.
-
Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking pan, ensuring it evenly covers the entire surface.
-
Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and the top is golden brown. The cheese should be melted and gooey, creating a tempting aroma that fills your kitchen.
-
Serve: Once fully baked, remove the Triple Cheese Bake from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
