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.
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. You could use some additional non-stick spray as eggs DO have a tendency to cement themselves to the bowl!
Trim a large ham steak and chop it into cubes. I love the thickness of these steaks!!
Add it to the slow cooker bowl with chopped green onions In a large jug, beat the eggs, add the cream, and pour into the slow cooker. 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.
Cook on high heat for 1 hour, then give everything a good stir. This helps to ensure even cooking. 
Continue to cook for another 30 minutes or until the center has cooked. It will be all puffed up and smell really inviting!
Serve and enjoy!
