Breakfast Bake

         

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Open a large tube of refrigerated biscuits and cut the biscuits into quarters.
2. Layer the pieces of biscuit in the bottom of your pan. Next, combine a cup of milk with a dozen eggs in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and whisk together well. Add ham or choice meat to egg mixture. Stir.  Pour this mixture over the biscuits and sprinkle with about a cup of cheese. Cheddar cheese, Monterrey jack and mozzarella all work well for this recipe.
3. Put in the oven, uncovered, for about 40 to 45 minutes, checking frequently. When eggs are firm, the casserole is done. Let it stand for a few minutes before eating.
