Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly as the base layer.
Scatter the diced ham evenly over the bread layer, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and toppings, ensuring everything is soaked.
Dot the top of the casserole with small pieces of butter for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
