Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup (diced) ham
- 1 cup (sliced) mushrooms
- 1.5 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 quarter cup (sliced) green onions
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (from day-old bread) bread cubes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray or a light layer of butter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until they're golden brown and have released most of their moisture. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the diced ham, sautéed mushrooms, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and bread cubes to the egg mixture. Gently stir everything together until evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle an additional handful of cheddar cheese over the top, if desired, for extra cheesiness.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or herbs if preferred.
