Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.

Step 4

Chop the ham into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and all-purpose flour until smooth.

Step 6

Add salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil to the egg mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Spread an even layer of sliced tomatoes across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Step 8

Scatter a layer of chopped ham over the tomatoes, followed by an even sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Add another layer of tomatoes, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, ensuring it seeps into the casserole.

Step 11

Top with any remaining cheese if desired for a bubbling, golden finish.

Step 12

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.
