Step-by-Step Fun
- Dig In and Eat
- Enjoy it warm or let it cool a bit—there’s no wrong way.
- Check Your Bake
- After baking 40 to 45 minutes, it’ll be puffed up and the center won’t jiggle. Let it chill for a few minutes so you get cleaner slices.
- Fill to the Brim
- Spoon all that hammy, cheesy mixture into your crust and smooth out the top.
- Mix Party
- Smooth out cream cheese first, then mix in sour cream, Worcestershire, the milk, and hot sauce. Crack in your eggs one at a time, then stir in the ham, cheddar, and green onion.
- Get That Crust Ready
- Heat oven to 375°F. Line your pie pan with the dough, and neaten up the edges any way you want.
Favorite Hints and Sneaky Tips
Get ahead of the game by freezing it, unbaked, up to two months. Just tack on a few more minutes in the oven later. Leftover ham hiding in your fridge? Toss it in here! If you crave an extra kick, up the hot sauce or sprinkle on chili flakes before baking.
Best Pairings
Honestly, a crisp side salad or some fresh fruit fits perfectly. For brunch, I throw in crusty bread or even a slice of garlic toast on the side. If you’re feeding a crowd, pull together a table of breakfast faves for everyone to pick from.
How to Keep It Awesome
Stick any leftovers in the fridge and they’ll be good for three days. To reheat, cover and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes til hot. Heads up: freezing after you bake it isn’t great—it just doesn’t taste the same. Freezing before baking is the way to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
- → When will the center be cooked enough?
You'll know it's good when the middle looks set and doesn't wobble if you give it a little shake. Poke a knife in near the center—it'll come out without wet bits stuck to it.
- → Could I skip the crust for a lighter version?
Absolutely—just grease your baking dish really well first. Check on it early, maybe around 45 minutes, since it might finish up sooner.
- → Why bother warming up the ham before mixing?
Getting some heat on the ham helps get rid of extra water, so your breakfast stays nice and firm instead of soggy. It's a tiny move that makes a big difference.
- → Any tips for freezing leftovers or prepping ahead?
This bake holds up in the freezer about three months. Toss it in foil, then a freezer bag, whether it's already cooked or not.
- → Will it work if I swap heavy cream for something lighter?
Heavy cream brings the richest flavor, but you can use half-and-half or light cream. It holds up just fine, but the result won't be as creamy.
