This is one of the best egg bakes I've ever put together. The combination of ham, potatoes, spinach and the sharp cheddar cheese was just awesome. It was so easy too, the longest part of putting together was the browning of the potatoes. If ever wanting a delicious breakfast bake to impress guests, this would be it. I will be serving this one Christmas morning, as it makes for a beautiful presentation. Yum! Great to Church brunch as well. Enjoy!
