I love making casseroles like this one for breakfast! You can pretty much use any kind of bread - I like to use odds and ends like leftover buns or rolls, etc. You can mix and match the meat and cheese too, but this is a great basic country ham and Cheddar cheese version. I used leftover brioche buns for the bread.
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups milk
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 8 cups cubed bread
- 4 ounces diced country ham
- 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese , divided
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions

1

Place about 3/4 of the bread cubes into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with ham and 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture over top. Add remaining bread cubes and gently press all over to submerge into the liquid. Once all of the bread is coated by the egg mixture, sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown and set in the middle, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
