A meal cooked in the slow cooker isn't always convenient for breakfast – but for brunch it is perfect! Just tip everything in, and set it cooking. Try and get some really good ham for this recipe – you want off the bone style or ham steaks rather than thinly sliced deli ham.

How to Make Slow Cooker Ham and Egg Casserole

Add some butter to the bowl of your slow cooker and let it melt. I have a small 3 quart slow cooker which works very well for this recipe but you could also use an Instant Pot as shown in the photos. You could use some additional non-stick spray as eggs DO have a tendency to cement themselves to the bowl!

Trim the ham and chop it into cubes, then slice some green onions. Add both to the slow cooker / Instant Pot bowl. In a large jug, beat some eggs and cream together, then pour it over the ham. Add some shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend of cheese but cheddar or pepper jack would work well too!) and season with black pepper.

Mix well, then cook on high heat for one hour, then give everything a good stir (use the slow cooker function if you're using an Instant Pot). This helps to ensure even cooking.

Continue to cook for another 15-30 minutes depending on how firm you like your eggs.

Serve and enjoy!
