"I like this casserole because it has a total breakfast in it, and it can be made the night before, ready to pop in the oven first thing next morning. Southern fast food!" Cliff Lowe

• 5 slices white bread, cubed
• 5 whole eggs
• 1 cup half and half cream (or whole milk)
• 1 cup ham chunks or 5 cooked sausage patties, crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons melted butter or fat from frying meat

Method

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Thoroughly combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl. Add melted fat and stir through.

Spread in a greased 9 x 13 greased baking dish or pan. Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

May be topped with Cheddar cheese 5 minutes before removing from oven, if desired.
