Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups cubed ham
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 4 cups white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cubed ham, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and sliced green onions to the egg mixture. Stir to evenly combine.

Step 4

Place the cubed bread in the greased baking dish in an even layer. Pour the melted butter over the bread cubes, tossing gently to coat.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg and ham mixture over the bread in the baking dish. Use a spatula to press everything down slightly, ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to fully soak the bread.

Step 7

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
