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
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.

2
Whisk milk, eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl.

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.

Feta Veggie Quiche
This is a basic recipe that can be adapted to your tastes, or (more likely, in my case) what's getting old in the fridge. To make it easier, I use a bought pie crust, but homemade would definitely make it better!
Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken
A coating of garlic butter, soft white bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and parsley makes this simple oven chicken dish sassy as well!
Slow Cooker Butter Chicken
It's easy to prep this butter chicken in the slow cooker in the morning to come home to the wonderful aroma of warm Indian spices... I love it and it's one of my favorite Indian dishes! Serve with basmati rice and warm naan bread.
