Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ham
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 6 bread slices (preferably day-old)
- 0.5 cups green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly across the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped ham, shredded mozzarella cheese, and green onions evenly over the bread cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ham, and cheese, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Use a spatula to press down gently if needed.
If desired, sprinkle paprika over the top for added color and flavor.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
Allow the bake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Ham Mozzarella Brunch Bake!
