Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened (for the baking dish and bread)
- 4 slices bread (or split biscuits, croissants, dinner rolls, English muffins, etc.)
- 1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend of cheeses)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- Dash Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 F.
- Butter a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Butter the bread or biscuits.
- Line the baking dish with the buttered bread. Leave the pieces large or tear them into smaller pieces to fit.
- Sprinkle the diced ham over the bread layer and then sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended. Alternatively, use a blender to mix the eggs and milk.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer. Let the mixture stand for a few minutes. Gently press it down to keep everything coated with the eggs. The bread will soak up some of the egg mixture.
- Bake the breakfast casserole for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The casserole will puff up and appear lightly browned.
- Remove to a rack and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
