For a richer flavor, consider using Gruyere or sharp cheddar cheese instead of American cheese. Add a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg to the custard mixture for a touch of warmth. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving for a pop of color.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Gather all ingredients.
02 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
03 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Spread diced ham evenly into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Butter one side of each bread slice generously; cut the slices into approximately 1-inch cubes. Arrange the buttered bread cubes artfully atop the ham, creating a rustic foundation. Distribute the cubed American cheese uniformly over the bread cubes, ensuring every bite is cheesy and delightful.
04 Step

Gently pour the custard mixture evenly over the American cheese layer, allowing it to seep into the bread and ham below. Cover the dish securely with aluminum foil and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the custard fully.

06 Step
Recipe View 1 hrs Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the eggs are set in the middle. This should take approximately 1 hour. To ensure even baking, rotate the casserole dish halfway through the baking time.
