Ingredients

8 slices homemade-style white bread, 3 to 4 inches square, crusts removed
1/4 pound thinly sliced cheese (Muenster, provolone, fontina or Gruyere)
2 ounces prosciutto or boiled ham, thinly sliced, optional
3 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish and arrange 4 slices of the bread flat on the bottom. Cover each with equal amounts of cheese and ham, if desired. Top with the remaining bread.

Beat the eggs lightly in a small bowl and pour in the milk. Season with the salt and blend well. Pour over the sandwiches, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the sandwiches, uncovered, until lightly browned around the edges and set in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve hot.

A new favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I finally got a chance to make this recipe and it beat my highest expectations! I was delighted to try this for a late... breakfast / early lunch. The bread and egg mixture cooked-up light and fluffy ... a great change from pie crust. I am definately making this with a simple side salad the next time I want to make an impressive-looking lunch with a tiny bit of effort.Read more

Easy and elegant

I had to throw together a brunch at the last minute and I came across this recipe. It was so easy and my guests absolutely... loved it. I use a crusty whole grain baguette and it gave it a wonderful nutty quality that was really good. I will definitely use this one again.Read more
