Instructions
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish or spray with cooking oil.
- Cut and fit 5 slices of bread to fit over entire bottom of dish. Depending on the size of your bread and casserole dish you might need more bread. Layer the slices of ham then top with the cheddar cheese. Cut and fit the remaining 5 slices of bread to completely cover the ham and cheese.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs with the pepper, dry mustard, chives, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Add the milk and whisk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the crushed corn flakes over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Let casserole stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- What can I substitute the ham with: You can use Canadian bacon, turkey or chicken deli meat or for a vegetarian version, try adding more veggies like peppers and mushrooms.
- What if I want to bake right away: I recommend letting the casserole rest for at least an hour before baking to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
- What to serve it with: You can serve this drizzled with maple syrup or serve with fruit.
- How to store it: Store leftovers covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- How to reheat it: I would reheat this in the oven in a casserole or baking dish to keep it crunchy for about 15 minutes or until heated through.
