Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup (diced) ham
- 1 cup (sliced) mushrooms
- 1.5 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 quarter cup (sliced) green onions
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (from day-old bread) bread cubes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray or a light layer of butter.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until they're golden brown and have released most of their moisture. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the diced ham, sautéed mushrooms, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and bread cubes to the egg mixture. Gently stir everything together until evenly coated.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle an additional handful of cheddar cheese over the top, if desired, for extra cheesiness.
Step 6
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or herbs if preferred.
