10 unbaked frozen dinner yeast rolls, thawed but still cold and quartered (I.e. Rhodes or similar)
1/2 lb smoked ham cubed
3 cups shredded Swiss cheese or Cheddar cheese or Colby Jack Cheese divided
10 large eggs
2 cups half and half
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1 bunch green onion chopped

Spray the bottom and sides of a deep 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Allow the dinner rolls to thaw on the counter for 15 minutes then use a sharp knife to quarter. Arrange in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
Arrange cubed ham over dough quarters then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, half and half, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and ground mustard. Mix in green onions.
Pour egg mixture over rolls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove dish from fridge and let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and sprinkle the top with remaining 1 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake for 40 minutes then lay a piece of foil on top. Continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set. (Test the center with a toothpick before removing from the oven)
Let stand for 5-10 minutes on the counter, then serve.

Rolls: You could adapt this recipe using quartered canned biscuits. You can use Pillsbury Grands or your favorite for a biscuit breakfast casserole.

Protein: You could use cooked breakfast sausage or crispy bacon in place of ham.

Cheese: You can use any variety of shredded cheese that you enjoy. Swiss cheese, sharp cheddar cheese cobly jack cheese or pepper jack cheese for spice.

Herbs: You could add parsley to the eggs or use chopped chives in place of green onions.

Spice: You could add a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture for a hint of spice.
