"There is no better breakfast than a 9-by-13 full of creamy eggs, ham,  jalapeño, cheddar and gooey mozzarella, all swimming around with pretzel buns!"

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Generously butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the buns in a single layer in the dish and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the half-and-half in a large bowl. Add the jalapeños, ham, cheddar and mozzarella and stir until evenly mixed. Pour the egg mixture over the buns, stirring if needed to completely coat the buns. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the casserole and bake until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
