Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ham
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 6 cups bread cubes (day-old preferred, any type of bread)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 0.75 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the milk, chicken broth, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the bread cubes to the mixing bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, tossing gently to ensure all cubes are evenly coated.
Stir in the ham and onion mixture, along with 1 cup of the shredded cheese and chopped parsley. Mix well.
Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the stuffing to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
