Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Fold the cubed bread into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Allow this to sit for 5 minutes to soak.
While the bread is soaking, crumble the deviled ham into small pieces if needed and set it aside.
Pour half of the egg and bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Evenly distribute the deviled ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions over the first layer.
Top with the remaining egg and bread mixture, and pour the melted butter evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese over the casserole for a cheesy topping.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Optional: Sprinkle paprika on top for added color and flavor before serving.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
