Smokey Ham and Cheese Egg Casserole Recipe

This recipe is a Hammers N Hugs modification of Joanna Gaines’ “Savory Ham and Cheese Bread Pudding with Tomato Hollandaise” from her fabulous Magnolia Table Cookbook .

For those of you that know me or have been with us here at Hammers N Hugs, then you know that I rarely follow a recipe and usually make it my own.

I feel strongly about using all-natural ingredients and will also substitute for more nutrient-dense alternatives where I can.

It’s no surprise then that plain Greek yogurt found its way into this delicious recipe.

I would love to hear what you think.

Be sure to comment below if you try it or have suggestions!!

Bon appetit!
