"  I have a slow-cooker cookbook, which will remain unnamed, that has a section of gorgeous breakfast recipes. However, most of the recipes take around 4 hours on low to cook. Argh! How is that useful? I either need a breakfast dish that I can make in the morning in an hour or less, or something I can throw in the slow cooker the night before that will be ready for me in the morning. This recipe, from Make It Fast, Cook It Slow, can be cooked on low for 8 hours. Score! I wish I could say I did it that way, but we ate it for dinner one night and I needed it faster, so I cooked it on high for 3 1/2 hours. Try it on low, though, and let me know how it goes, will ya?  This slow cooker recipe couldn&amp;#039;t be easier. I made a half-recipe and used my 4-quart round cooker. I sprayed the inside of the cooker with nonstick spray, then spread half a 30-ounce package of frozen hash browns in the bottom. I mixed 6 eggs in a medium bowl with 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3/4 cup shredded cheese (I used preshredded Cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyere and Parmesan, the dregs of the deli drawer), 1 cup chopped ham and 1/4 cup diced onion. I poured that over the hash browns, then mixed it in a bit. Covered and cooked on high for 3 1/2 hours, until it was cooked through. I let it sit for 15 minutes to make it easier to get the wedges out, then cut into wedges in the cooker and removed with a big spoon. Served for dinner with fruit salad.   I didn&amp;#039;t bother to make a collar for the casserole and one side of it did get a bit too browned. It wasn&amp;#039;t a huge issue, but you can avoid the problem with a trick I learned from Slow Cooker Revolution: Tear 2 pieces of foil that are about 7 inches long, then stack them and fold them lenthwise to make a 4-layer strip. Place the strip on against the side of the slow-cooker crock on the side across from the slow cooker&amp;#039;s controls. Then spray and follow the directions for the recipe.  The kids don&amp;#039;t like casseroles so I couldn&amp;#039;t even get them to try it, but my husband loves breakfast casserole, and this one was really good. I loved how fuss-free it was, and it was the pefect texture, firm enough to cut but still tender and not at all rubbery. The mixture of cheese and ham played well together, all nutty and salty and sweet. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
