Breakfast Bake

  • 4

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1/2 cup diced cooked lean ham (about 2 1/4 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs or 1 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
  • 2/3 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Lightly coat two 16- to 20-ounce casseroles with cooking spray. Tear bread into bite-size pieces. Divide between prepared casseroles. Add ham and cheese.

2. In a medium bowl combine eggs, milk, and pepper;* beat with a rotary beater or wire whisk. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread; press lightly with the back of a spoon to thoroughly moisten bread. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake casseroles, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near centers comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
