Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked ham
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1.5 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish with the unsalted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
