This casserole is easy to prepare, especially if you purchase diced ham from your supermarket. Gruyère is a type of Swiss cheese. Its sweet nuttiness enhances this dish, though you can substitute Edam, Gouda, or even cheddar cheese. Ingredients:
2 cups fat-free milk |
1 cup chopped green onions |
1 cup egg substitute |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
12 ounces sourdough french bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 10 cups), toasted |
3/4 cup diced ham |
cooking spray |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded gruyère cheese |
4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled (drained) |
Directions:
1. Combine milk, green onions, egg substitute, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add bread cubes and ham; stir well to combine. Pour into a 2-quart baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Uncover dish, and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon. Bake an additional 15 minutes or until bread mixture is set and cheese is bubbly.
