🛒 What You’ll Need
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Large Eggs | 12 |
| Milk | 2½ cups |
| Heavy Cream | ½ cup |
| Diced Ham | 1 cup |
| Cubed Bread | 8 cups |
| Minced Garlic | ¼ teaspoon |
| Frozen Hash Browns | 2 cups (shredded) |
| Chopped Green Onions | ¼ cup |
| Shredded Cheese | 2 cups (cheddar or a cheese blend) |
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F. Grease a bundt pan generously to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Hash Browns
In a skillet, warm olive oil and sauté the garlic briefly. Add the hash browns and cook until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
Place half of the bread cubes into the greased bundt pan. Layer with ham, green onions, cooked hash browns, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Add the rest of the bread on top.
Step 4: Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Step 5: Assemble and Rest
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the pan. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top—add extra ham if you’re feeling fancy.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
Step 7: Cool and Flip
Allow the bundt to cool slightly, then gently invert onto a serving plate. Slice, serve, and enjoy your savory breakfast masterpiece.
💡 Tips for Bundt Cake Success
- Stale bread works best—it holds up to the egg mixture without getting mushy.
- Customize it! Try swapping ham for cooked bacon or sausage.
- Add heat with a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
- Make ahead by assembling the night before and baking fresh in the morning.
