Ham, Egg and Cheddar Breakfast Braid

This Ham, Egg, and Cheddar Breakfast Braid is loaded with scrambled eggs, diced ham, peppers, and lots of cheese – perfect for serving a crowd!

Breakfast is no doubt a favorite at our house. Months ago, I had seen a recipe for a sweet blueberry breakfast braid in a cooking magazine and knew it would make for a great breakfast dish someday. Since Good Friday and Easter are quickly approaching, I decided to give the recipe my own fun savory twist and serve this for a special brunch.

For me, ham is a big part of an Easter meal, but what do you do when you have leftover ham? Well, this recipe is perfect for that! I’ve got just the creative dish for you to make for your special breakfast or brunch, especially when you need to have something yummy for breakfast that is quick and easy to make yet can feed quite a large group of family and friends.

What is Ham, Egg and Cheddar Breakfast Braid?

This savory Ham, Egg and Cheddar Breakfast Braid looks so fancy after it is baked, but don’t let the look intimidate you. It’ll be one of the easiest recipes you will ever make. It’s made from simple, store bought pizza dough, along with eggs, cheese, and your favorite omelette ingredients. I love ham and roasted red pepper, but this would also be great with uncured bacon and mushrooms too!

What ingredients do you need to make this Ham, Egg and Cheddar Breakfast Braid?

The ingredients for this recipe are really simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

Eggs: scrambled to perfection, the eggs add a protein-rich and velvety texture to the breakfast braid.

Milk: Adding milk to the scrambled eggs gives them a creamier consistency. Whole milk is best for this recipe, but low-fat milk also works.

Refrigerated pizza dough: convenient and time-saving, store-bought pizza dough serves as the versatile base for your breakfast braid. Its pliability makes it easy to roll out and shape, ensuring a golden, flaky crust for your savory creation.

Roasted red bell pepper: providing a fresh and mildly pungent flavor, roasted bell peppers contribute a subtle kick to the dish. Their vibrant red color also adds visual appeal, balancing the richness of the ham, eggs, and cheese. I use roasted bell peppers from the jar, but you can also roast it yourself. For those of you who like a bit of heat, roasted hatch chiles (from a can) would be a great substitute!

Ham: Bursting with savory flavor, diced ham brings a smoky and salty component to the braid. Its versatility allows it to distribute evenly throughout the dish, offering savory bites in every slice. I like to use uncured ham for this recipe, but you can also use any type diced ham such as leftover honey glazed ham, baked ham steak.

Cheddar cheese: adds a rich and creamy texture, enhancing the overall indulgence of the breakfast braid. It also melts into gooey goodness, binding the ingredients together. I like to shred it from a block of cheese, instead of using pre-shredded cheese.
