• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

• 1.5 cups Ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups Chopped chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives, mixing until evenly distributed.

Heat the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the bread cubes. Toast them until golden and slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Place the toasted bread cubes evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Pour the egg and ham mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is coated and submerged.

Step 7

Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
