Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups cubed ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cubed ham, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and sliced green onions to the egg mixture. Stir to evenly combine.
Place the cubed bread in the greased baking dish in an even layer. Pour the melted butter over the bread cubes, tossing gently to coat.
Slowly pour the egg and ham mixture over the bread in the baking dish. Use a spatula to press everything down slightly, ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to fully soak the bread.
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
