To make this easy breakfast casserole, layer hash brown potatoes, pepper Jack cheese and ham in a baking dish. Then whisk eggs, milk, and salt until smooth, pour over the layers in the baking dish and bake it in a preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Toss the leftovers with melon wedges, fresh strawberries, and orange slices for a healthy breakfast or brunch on the go.
Farmer’s cheese is like American cottage cheese, but milder with a touch of tang and acidity. It’s also lower in moisture, making it slightly firmer than traditional cottage cheese and better suited for recipes that call for whipped cream or ricotta. This super speedy recipe for farmer’s cheese takes just 30 minutes from start to finish — which is about the same amount of time it takes to drive to your local farmers’ market!
