Pillsbury cinnamon rolls form the base of this casserole and are combined with ham and Swiss Cheese.
I started out by cutting each of the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls into four pieces.
Then I placed the cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom of a greased 8 inch square baking dish and spread them out as evenly as possible.
If you make a lot of casserole I highly recommend you invest in some baking dishes with lids
They make storing leftovers so much easier and are great for transporting food.
No more fighting with cling wrap!
I baked the cinnamon roll pieces until they were nicely browned and then removed them from the oven.
Then I topped them with the icing provided.
I cut some sliced deli honey ham into small bite sized pieces.
I cut my ham with kitchen scissors as I find it easier for cutting deli meat than using a knife.
I placed the chopped honey ham on top of the cinnamon rolls.
Then I placed four sandwich sized slices of Swiss cheese over the ham covering the entire casserole.
I placed the breakfast casserole bake in the oven and continued cooking it until the cheese was fully melted.
I sliced and served the casserole immediately after removing it from the oven.
The combination of the sweet cinnamon rolls with the ham and cheese make this the perfect breakfast treat.
