Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter.
Make ham and cheese sandwiches; Spread mustard on one side of each piece of bread. Divide the ham and cheese slices on top of the mustard side of half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, mustard-side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut all sandwiches in half.
Combine the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to a smooth custard. Dip each sandwich into the custard.
Shingle the ham and cheese sandwiches in the casserole dish. Pour remaining custard into the baking dish.
Bake the casserole for 30 minutes covered and uncover for the last 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Slice and serve the baked sandwiches with your favorite hot sauce.

Tip
- Build your casserole the night before to let custard soak into the bread.
