Notes
Cheese options: Colby & Monterey Jack give a creamy, melty texture, but cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack work just as well.
Cream cheese tip: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before whisking—this prevents lumps in the egg mixture.
Protein swaps: Swap ham for cooked sausage, bacon, turkey, or even a vegetarian option like sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
Topping ideas: Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley, chives, cilantro), avocado slices, or sour cream for extra flavor.
Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best texture (microwave works too, but the crust won’t stay as crisp).
