- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 count Large eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (optional)
- 3 cups (cubed) Day-old bread
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Layer the cubed day-old bread evenly across the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the diced ham over the bread cubes, spreading it out evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and all-purpose flour until fully combined.
Add the salt and pepper to the egg mixture, whisking well.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and ham layers in the baking dish, ensuring all the pieces are coated.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly across the top.
If desired, scatter the chopped green onions over the cheese layer to add extra flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
