Recipe for Slow Cooker Egg, Spinach and Ham Breakfast Casserole

For me, this is the best breakfast casserole thing-y I’ve made in my slow cooker to date.  The seasonings were dead on and the use of the Greek yogurt gives it something a little extra.  I also used pepper jack cheese instead of a usual cheddar.  It gives it a bit of a kick and ups the flavor. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I did!

  • 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!

    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?

      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.

    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/

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

            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?
