How to Make the Best Ham and Egg Bubble Up Recipe

This ham and egg casserole is a fantastic use for leftover holiday ham. That said, you can also make it with Deli ham or one of those ham steaks found in the meat department year-round. It’s a scrumptious one dish bubble up meal and leftovers reheat well, too.

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Ham and Egg Bubble Up casserole: Frozen unbaked yeast roll dough, cubed ham, shredded Swiss or Monterey jack cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, large eggs, half and half, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder and green onions.
  • It’s important to use a deep dish baking dish for this casserole to prevent it from overflowing.
  • Since this is assembled the night before, the baking time is based on a cold casserole. The time can easily be adjusted depending on how cold it is. If time allows, leave on the counter for 15 minutes to warm just a bit before baking.
  • Please note, the rolls used in this recipe are unbaked rounds of yeast dough. Allow the frozen rounds of yeast roll dough to thaw on the counter for 15-20 minutes and then quarter each one using a sharp knife.
  • Just as when baking a cake, it’s important to check the center of this bubble up for doneness with a toothpick. Look for a clean toothpick and it’s done.
  • While baking, the rolls bubble up to the top and become golden and puffy while the creamy egg may take a bit longer to cook. Adjust the baking time according to how your oven performs and how done you like your scrambled eggs.
  • Store leftover ham and egg bubble up in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.

Serve Ham and Egg Bubble Up Casserole for Dinner

This dish is one you may have like to serve for breakfast, brunch or breakfast for dinner.

Should you prefer, you could adapt using canned biscuits.

  1. I love the idea of rolls instead biscuits and it looks like the roll bake up nicely. In the photo the eggs/ham mixture looks a little loose or watery. Is that the way they are supposed to be or is the photo misleading?

    1. The eggs aren’t watery at all they bake to a soft texture, though. This could depend on the ham you use as well so choose a quality ham.
