Preparation
Step 1
Spray 13 x 9 baking dish with non-stick spray. Place bread, somewhat standing up, as it fits aesthetically in the dish, for each row of bread: Place 1 slice of the cheese, 1 piece of ham, tomato slice and a basil leaf in that order.
In large bowl whisk milk, eggs, mustard and pepper sauce. Pour over dish, cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, uncover dish and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours until puffed and golden brown and knife inserted in center tests clean. Let cool 5 minutes.
