Shake up the usual spread by serving an easy brunch lasagna. Filled with cheese, a creamy sauce, ham and tender vegetables, this recipe is comforting, familiar and creative. Best of all, it's a great make-ahead dish.

Ingredients

  • 6 lasagna noodles
  • 8 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 jars (16 ounces each) Alfredo sauce
  • 3 cups diced fully cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Thinly sliced green onions, optional

Directions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs and milk. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook eggs until set but moist. Remove from the heat. Drain noodles.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce in a greased 10-in. square baking dish or 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with three lasagna noodles (trim noodles if necessary to fit dish), ham, green pepper and onions.
  3. Top with half of the remaining Alfredo sauce and the remaining noodles. Layer with scrambled eggs, remaining Alfredo sauce and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. If desired, top with sliced green onions.

A professional cook, I appreciate make-ahead dishes like this one. Pop it into the oven before guests arrive...add fresh fruit and muffins...and you have an instant brunch. You can serve it as a hearty supper, too, drizzled with a little salsa.
