Recipe for Slow Cooker Egg, Spinach and Ham Breakfast Casserole
- Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole with Eggs, Sausage, Potatoes and Cheese
- Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole with Spinach, Mushrooms and Peppers
What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
For this recipe I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker. I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

I need to make this recipe for a crowd, so I clicked 3X. It did not change the cooking time. However, your response to someone who wanted to make it for a crowd was to up the cooking time by an hour (9/19/16) and for someone who wanted to double the recipe to keep the time the same (2/5/15). What is the correct time for 3X on high and low. How large a cooker would I need for 3X? Thanks.

I would increase cooking time by an hour. I would use a 6 quart slow cooker. Enjoy! 🙂
Fantastic!! I didn’t have ham so I sprinkled chopped bacon on top of one side and veggie sausage on the otherfor my vegetarian daughter. Can’t wait to make it again!
Glad you liked it!
I know this is a really old recipe, but it’s safe/will still taste good to make this at night and eat in the morning, right? As long as it’s kept warm?
Do you mean keep it in your slow cooker overnight?
My family really enjoyed this. I made it exactly as your instructions said. Thanks for the recipe!

I have a small slow cooker (about 3qt)…would I be able to half the recipe?
yes!
Can you make this the night before and leave in the refrigerator then cook straight from refrigerator?
I personally haven’t tried that but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. It may take an extra few minutes because the ingredients will be cold.
I am muslim so can’t use ham . Any suggestions?
★★★★★
No bacon or sausage either? Maybe seasoned chopped chicken?
Could you use the instant pot instead of the slow cooker and if so what setting would you use?
I think you’d have to do the pot in pot method. I haven’t tried a breakfast casserole yet in the IP. I need to! I’m thinking you could follow the cooking instructions on this similar recipe and have good results: https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-crustless-tomato-spinach-quiche/
Would it be possible to use fresh asparagus?
totally! It would taste great I’m sure.
Did you use the tea towel trick for this? I can’t see how it wouldn’t turn out soggy because of the condensation dripping in otherwise, but I see no mention of it in your method.
I don’t know that I did but it’s not a bad idea!
Would it work if you substituted a different cheese? Like feta or goat cheese?
I’m sure you could. But with feta and goat cheese I would use less because they are so strong.
is it fresh or frozen spinach?
I used fresh!
Can you eliminate the Greek yogurt or is there a substitute?
I wouldn't eliminate it! But I would substitute sour cream if you don't have greek yogurt.
You advertise an e-Book for $3.99 but I see no way to purchase it. When I click on the book, I am taken directly to Amazon to purchase a spiral bound book. I don't have a problem buying the book, but wanted to spend the $3.99 for an e-Book before investing more money.
Hi, here is the link to where you can buy the book! Hope this helps 🙂

Whoops, I posted this question on another casserole recipe. This is the one I really want to make tomorrow, doubled for a crowd and need to know if it will work cooked on LOW for 3-4 hours rather than HIGH for 1.5-2 hours. Great looking recipes so I'll be sure to post how they taste!
Yes, I think that would work! Good luck!
Can you double this recipe?
yes yes yes
Would the cook time need to be doubled as well?
Nope…cooking time should be very similar.
Hi, thanks for looking at my site!
Here is the link to the recipe…hopefully you'll be able to find it from there 🙂

Hi Karen,
Amazing recipe! I am, however, having the same problem, even after clicking into the link you've provided in your reply.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Do you think I could triple it?
Yep! But you’ll have to increase the cooking time by maybe an hour.
Thank you! Your response came just in time! I made a trial run Monday (regular size) it is delicious! Making it for women’s breakfast tomorrow morning. Do you recommend a lower temp for longer, or still on high?
still on high…how did it go?
Great! Making fir my bible study group
Is the ham pre-cooked? It’s hard to tell in the picture and the recipe doesn’t say…
yes it is.
This looks amazing, and I'd love to get the recipe. I clicked on the "click here for the recipe" link, but it doesn't appear to be working. Help! 🙂
