If you've got leftover holiday ham, then this recipe is going to be perfect for you. It uses less than 10 ingredients and is both gluten- and dairy-free - but it doesn't taste like it!

It's great to serve as a weekend brunch, but works just as well for meal prep - make it on a Sunday and cut the squares up to have for breakfast on the weekdays. It also works well for gatherings - serve it alongside a fruit platter, some baked goods, and maybe even a mimosa bar and you've got brunch squared away! You can even assemble everything the night before, then take it out of the fridge the morning of and put it in the oven (after it's warmed up a bit). Easy peasy.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray or coat a 3 quart (9×13) rectangular baking dish with olive oil.
Place 4-6 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt once boiling, then add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from the pot and set in a paper towel lined small bowl to drain. Dump the water out of the pot.
Place olive oil in the same pot and warm over medium heat. Pour the diced onion in and stir it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour onion evenly over the broccoli in the casserole dish.
Next dice the ham with a large sharp knife into roughly 1/4 inch cubes and spread evenly in the casserole dish over the onion and broccoli.
Crack the eggs (white and yolk) into a large bowl and whisk them to combine. Pour the coconut milk, 1 tsp of Diamond Crystal kosher salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper in and stir until mixed. Pour egg mixture into the casserole dish and distribute as evenly as you can, moving the broccoli and diced ham pieces as needed until they're mostly covered.
Put the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 mins (until all of the egg is set). Remove from the oven (be sure to use hot pads to handle the dish) and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

the less ingredients the better though I'm hesitant to put a dozen eggs in. Otherwise sounds easy & fairly nutritious...might add a small amount of green peppers but that's it...no cheese!

  You could try it will less eggs, it just might not cover all of the fillings. Adding some green peppers in sounds delicious!

  You can add 1/2 egg beaters and 1/2 eggs. With the price of eggs adding the egg beaters will cut the price down a bit and cholesterol down to.😀

All I need now is a fork. This is the type of recipe I was fed as a child growing up. I have a Niece. her husband and two beautiful Children who live in Denmark and they have to eat Gluten Free Food and this recipe will be perfect for them. They are always looking for New Recipes that are Gluten Free. Thank you for sharing this with all of us and my younger sister who just turned 70 and still working, so she has to cook meals on Sunday to last for the work days. Excellent choice. Thank you again from the bottom four hearts and stomachs.👍️Sheila ♥️
