A breakfast casserole with a Mexican flavor twist. I make it a 3-cheese casserole by topping it with the optional queso cotija.

Ingredients

  • 3 corns tortillas , cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.5 cups chopped ham
  • 0.5 cups diced tomatoes
  • 0.5 cups salsa
  • 0.25 cups milk
  • 0.25 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cups shredded jalapeno Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 medium green onions , sliced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.75 cups milk
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cups crumbled cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x7-inch glass dish.

  2. 2

    Mix ham, tomatoes, salsa, 1/4 cup milk, Cheddar cheese, jalapeno Jack cheese, cilantro, and green onions.

  3. 3

    Place half of the tortillas into the prepared baking dish and top with half of the ham mixture. Repeat layers. In another bowl, mix eggs, 3/4 cup milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over mixture in the baking dish.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until top starts to brown, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with cotija cheese.
