For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture. Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have cornflakes, you can use crushed potato chips or Ritz crackers for the topping. To make this casserole ahead of time and freeze it, assemble it as directed, but do not bake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking. Make it vegetarian by omitting the ham and adding some sauteed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach. Use Texas toast or croissants for bread if you prefer it
