Our mom used to make this growing up when we would have breakfast for dinner. I came across the recipe a few weeks ago, and it brought back SO MANY MEMORIES! It is so easy to throw together the morning of, let it sit in the fridge all day, and throw it into the oven right before dinner.
The recipe just has a few easy steps – starting with cubed day-old bread slices with the crusts removed.
Top it with cubed ham, sliced cheddar cheese, and swiss cheese.
Add another layer of cubed bread.
Mix together eggs, milk, and a handful of spices and then pour it over top the bread, ham, and cheese mixture. Refrigerate for 8 hours (or overnight if you’re making it in the morning!). Seriously easy, right?!
But the end result is a delicious, cheesy casserole that will warm you up from the inside out!
