Healthy Ham Breakfast Skillet Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep – Cook the skillet to the directions, and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or cover entire casserole with foil.
Frozen Leftovers – I do not recommend freezing leftovers, but if you do freeze, it will hold for 2 weeks.
Refrigerated Leftovers – Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days.
Reheating – Add the foil covered skillet to the oven at 350 degrees and heat for 10 minutes. Or add individual servings to the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 1 onion diced
- 2 potatoes diced
- 1 cup cooked ham diced
- 1 teaspoon Ranch Seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 green onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, spray with olive oil.
- Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the diced potatoes to a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 2 minutes. Then add the cooked potatoes to the onions (this will soften them faster, while still giving your the crunchy bits you'll want).
- Add the Ranch Seasoning (or just season with salt and pepper), the leftover ham and toss together.
- Cook until the onions have softened and the potatoes have become golden brown with some crispy edges (about 5 minutes).
- Make 2 wells to crack the eggs into, then carefully crack the eggs into the wells (I find that cracking them individually into a small bowl then sliding them into the wells ensures no shells get into the hash).
- Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until the eggs are set and the yolks are runny, cook for an addition 2-3 minutes for set yolks.
- Sprinkle with green onions, and serve hot.

Nutrition and Calories in Ham Breakfast Hash
One serving is about 1 egg and 1 cup of the veggie hash.
Special Tip: Ham can be very salty, so if you’re looking to lower the sodium you can soak the ham in cold water for 1 hour then drain and cook. You can also omit the salt from the recipe or the Homemade Ranch Seasoning as well.
