Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Toast the bread slices lightly, then remove the crusts.
  3. Butter the toasted bread slices while they are still warm and cut them in half.
  4. Spread 4 bread halves with mustard and arrange them on the bottom of a greased baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the diced cooked ham evenly over the bread layer.
  6. Place the remaining 4 bread halves on top of the ham.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top layer of bread.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole, ensuring it soaks into the bread.
  10. Refrigerate the assembled casserole for 1 hour to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
