Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 (16-oz) loaf French Bread
  • 7 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 pound fresh asparagus (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 8 ounces deli ham (thinly sliced, chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (for topping)
  • 1 recipe for 5 Minute Hollandaise Sauce

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  • Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the bread into 1-inch pieces. I actually find it easier to tear the bread with my hands. It doesn't matter too much, just make sure it's bite size. Place the bread in a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, salt, seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Gently stir to moisten all the bread. 
  • Add the asparagus, ham, and 1 cup Swiss cheese and stir it all up.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and make sure the ham and asparagus is distributed evenly. 
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Swiss cheese.
  • Spray some aluminum foil with nonstick spray and cover the pan (so that the cheese doesn't stick to the foil). 
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-22 minutes, until the bread is toasty and golden brown. 
  • Serve warm with this hollandaise sauce!
