Craving a warm, hearty breakfast but don’t want to spend your morning over a stove? This Slow Cooker French Fry Breakfast Bake is your dream come true. With just four ingredients and zero fuss, you’ll have a golden, cheesy, and protein-packed dish that practically cooks itself. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and convenience — ideal for lazy Saturdays, busy weekdays, or feeding a crowd without breaking a sweat.
Inspired by classic American breakfast casseroles, this version takes a fun detour by using frozen French fries instead of traditional hashbrowns or cubed potatoes. The result? A crispy, savory base that holds up beautifully under fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and smoky ham. It’s simple, satisfying, and incredibly versatile.
Pair it with fresh fruit, a handful of greens, or go all out with crispy bacon and buttery toast. However you serve it, this is the kind of breakfast that makes you wish every day was brunch day.

1 lb frozen French fries (shoestring, waffle, or crinkle-cut — your choice)
-
6 large eggs
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
½ cup diced ham
Instructions:

Prep your slow cooker:

Assemble the bake:
Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the fries. Scatter the diced ham on top, then finish with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. -
Cook low and slow:
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Rest & serve:
Once done, let it sit uncovered for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps everything firm up for easier slicing.
