Ingredients

  • 8 slices sandwich bread
  • 8 slices ham
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
  3. Place 4 slices of sandwich bread in a single layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Top each bread slice with a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese.
  5. Cover the ham and cheese with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
  6. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread layers in the baking dish.
  8. Press down on the bread lightly to ensure all the slices are soaked in the egg mixture.
  9. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the casserole.
  10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  13. Slice the casserole into squares and serve warm. Optional toppings include maple syrup, sour cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
