Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and ham. Then fold in the cream cheese to distribute it through the mixture. Transfer the hash brown mixture to a greased 9x13" baking dish.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together. Then pour the mixture over the hash browns in the casserole dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center is just set and springs back when touched.
