4 slices of bread (or use equivalent amount of croissants, dinner rolls, English muffins, or biscuits)
1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
2 cup milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Prep the Oven and Pan: Heat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and use some of the softened butter to grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Layer Ingredients: Butter the bread with the remaining softened butter, tear or cut into smaller pieces, and arrange the pieces in the baking dish. Top the bread with the diced ham and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
Prepare the Eggs: Combine the eggs, milk, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a large bowl; whisk until smooth and well blended. Pour over the bread, ham, and cheese layers. Gently press to keep the bread submerged and let stand for 5 minutes.
Bake: Bake the casserole for 45 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve: Slice into squares to serve with your choice of fruits, vegetables, or condiments.
