Ingredients

• 2 cups cubed ham
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (drained, if canned)
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 cups day-old bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
• 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter. Set it aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed ham, pineapple chunks, shredded cheddar cheese, and cubed bread. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground mustard until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the ham, pineapple, cheese, and bread mixture. Gently toss until all the bread is coated and the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for added color and flavor.
