Prep the night before
Made Thanksgiving 2024 for breakfast, the day after.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (16 oz.) French Bread, cut into ¼-inch cubes, divided
- 1/2 lb. (1-1/2 c.) turkey, cut into ¼-inch cubes, divided
- 1/2 lb. (1-1/2 c.) ham, cut into ¼-inch cubes, divided
- 1 c. Swiss cheese, shredded, divided
- 1 c. mild cheddar cheese, shredded divided
- 12 large eggs
- 2 c. milk
- raspberry preserves, for serving
Instructions
Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
To the bottom of prepared baking dish, add half of the bread cubes. Top with half (3/4 cup) of the turkey, half (3/4 cup) of the ham, 1/2 cup Swiss cheese and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers with remaining bread, turkey, ham and cheeses.
In a large bowl, combine eggs and milk and whisk until well combined. Pour egg mixture over the bread, meat and cheese layers.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the casserole doesn’t jiggle.
Let cool slightly, then serve warm with a dollop of raspberry preserves.
