Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well blended.
Stir in the salt, ground black pepper, and onion powder (if using).
Add the cubed bread, ham, and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Mix until the bread is well coated.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top for a melted, golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm.
