Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Day-old bread cubes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives, mixing until evenly distributed.
Heat the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the bread cubes. Toast them until golden and slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Place the toasted bread cubes evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the egg and ham mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is coated and submerged.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
