Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bread slices
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 4 pieces Ham slices
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Butter both sides of the bread slices and arrange them in the baking dish, slightly overlapping each piece.

Step 3

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them evenly over the bread slices.

Step 4

Tear or slice the ham into smaller pieces and spread it over the bread and tomatoes.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the dish.

Step 8

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
