Instructions

1. 1

   --- Eggs and Sausage ---

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees

3. 3

   In a large skillet or cast iron pan, soft scramble the eggs (seasoned to taste with salt & pepper) then remove from heat and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until thoroughly cooked through. Add in the cream cheese and the broth and stirring constantly, cook until the mixture comes to a soft simmer and thickens. Then reduce the heat to medium-low, still stirring constantly and simmer for 2 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set mixture aside.

6. 6

   Divide scrambled eggs in half, divide cheese into thirds, divide gravy into thirds, divide ham into thirds.

7. 7

   Using a 3-quart baking dish, add one layer of gravy to cover the bottom of the dish. Then add a layer of ham.

8. 8

   After the ham add a layer of scrambled eggs.

9. 9

   Add a layer of gravy.

10. 10

    After the gravy add a layer of cheese.

11. 11

    Repeat the process again: ham, eggs, gravy, cheese.

12. 12

    Then add the final layer of ham and top with the remaining cheese.

13. 13

    Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cheese is melted. I actually found this tasted better reheated subsequent days so I actually recommend cooking and serving it the next day.
