Ingredients
- white bread - 8 slices
- egg - 6 pieces
- milk - 350 ml
- yellow cheese grated - 150 g
- ham - 120 g
- bell pepper - 0.5 pieces
- chives chopped - 2 tablespoons
- butter - 20 g
- mustard - 1 teaspoon
- salt
- black pepper
Main Ingredient:
eggs
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom heat). Grease a baking dish (about 20×30 cm) with butter.
- Cut the bread slices into cubes about 2 cm in size. Cut the ham into strips or cubes. Remove the seeds and core from the pepper and dice it finely. Chop the chives.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly over the bottom of the dish. Scatter the ham, pepper and half of the grated cheese on top.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, then add the mustard, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
- Pour the egg-and-milk mixture over the contents of the dish, pressing the bread down lightly with a spoon so it soaks up the liquid. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and the chopped chives.
- If you have time, let the dish sit for 15–20 minutes so the bread can absorb the mixture (you can also cover it and refrigerate overnight).
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the egg mixture is set and the top is golden and slightly crisp. The center should not be runny.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting, so it’s easier to portion. Serve warm.
