Whether you're celebrating Christmas this week or not, we thought everyone would enjoy this fun meal that works as well for brunch as it does as a breakfast-for-dinner.
Smarts: We couldn't resist adding the option to top the egg bake with frozen tater tots. It's a fun addition, but feel free to skip it if you prefer.

Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
Heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Add ham and parsley and saute for 1 minute.
Pour eggs over ham. Add cheese and spinach and stir to combine everything. Top with tater tots (if using). Transfer to oven and cook until a knife comes out cleanly, 18 to 22 minutes.
When egg bake is nearly finished, combine wet and dry pancake ingredients. Stir just until no dry spots remain.
Place a griddle (or large skillet) for the pancakes over medium heat.
Brush griddle with some butter or oil. Add pancake batter in 1/3 cup / 80 mL portions, leaving space between the pancakes as they cook. Cook until bubbles form in the batter and pancakes are golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook on the other side. Continue to cook in batches until all pancakes are finished.
Slice egg bake and serve with some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy pancakes on the side with maple syrup.
