Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or small baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed ham, 1 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese, thawed asparagus, and sliced green onions.
  4. Spread this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  5. In a blender or separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, Bisquick, salt, and pepper until smooth, about 15 seconds if using a blender.
  6. Pour the batter evenly over the ham and vegetable mixture in the pie plate.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the crust comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese on top.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note

You can substitute 1 pound of fresh asparagus (about 2 cups, cut into 1-inch pieces) for the frozen asparagus. If using fresh, consider sautéing it lightly before adding to ensure it cooks through.

For a variation, try using cheddar or mozzarella cheese instead of Swiss. You can also add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the vegetable layer.

This dish is best served fresh from the oven. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
