Cracker Barrel Ham and Egg Casserole
Description
This casserole starts by arranging crustless sourdough bread at the bottom of a greased baking dish. Beaten eggs combined with evaporated milk, salt, and pepper are poured over the bread, allowing it to soak up the egg mixture. Diced country-cured ham and shredded mild cheddar cheese are layered on top. The dish is refrigerated overnight or for at least five hours, so the bread absorbs the flavors and egg fully before baking.
When baked at 350°F, the eggs set with a firm but tender texture, holding the bread pieces together while the cheese melts and the ham adds a savory note. The result is a balanced, filling breakfast casserole appealing for its combination of custardy eggs, bread, ham, and mild cheese.
This make-ahead recipe is practical for busy mornings or feeding groups. It requires little active time in the morning since assembly and chilling can be done the night before. The baked casserole can be served with fresh fruit or a light salad for a well-rounded meal.
