Ingredients

1 8 oz loaf sourdough bread
8 oz diced ham
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs beaten
2 cups milk
1 tsp ground mustard
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Using a serrated bread knife, cut the loaf into roughly 1" chunks. Spread the bread cubes evenly out in the bottom of the prepared dish.
Spread the ham evenly out over the bread. Spread the cubes gently to allow some of the ham pieces to fall to the bottom of the dish, but not all.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly out over top.
To a medium sized mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, mustard, and salt & pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture's smooth. Pour the egg mixture evenly out over the casserole.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with cling wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours but up to overnight.
Bake the uncovered casserole at 350° for 45-50 minutes- until puffed and lightly toasted on top & a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Slice, serve & enjoy!
