Ham & Hashbrown Casserole *

10 Hashbrown patties, thawed (I have also used froz shredded hashbrowns)
2 c Colby/Monterey cheese, shredded
8oz cream cheese, softened
1 dozen eggs
8oz ham, diced
4-5 green onions, sliced
½ tsp pepper
Tomatoes, diced

Oven 450 degrees. Lightly grease the cookie sheet.
1- Crumble up hashbrown patties/or press down the shredded hashbrowns. Sprinkle half of cheese. Bake in oven for 13-15min. (until cheese is melted and hashbrowns are toasted.)
2- Whisk cream cheese until smooth. Add beaten eggs.
3- Add pepper, ham and most of green onions.
4- Pour mixture over hashbrown crust. Bake 6-8 min (center is set)
5- Top with remaining cheese, onions and tomatoes.
