Ingredients:
- additional butter
- optional: a very light drizzle of hollandaise sauce over each slice is a nice addition, too. if you put the sauce in a separate gravy server, your guests can have the choice of adding it or noti''m a big fan of hollandaise, so of course i never pass it up
Directions:
- In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter; add the leeks and garlic, stirring over medium heat just until lightly browned (don’t let the garlic burn or it will have a bitter taste).
- Generously butter a glass 11x7 baking dish (the glass baking dish will give you a nice browned crust around the sides and bottom of the casserole, as well as the top).
- Place a single layer of bread cubes in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Cover bread with ham cubes, then grated cheese, then the sautéed leeks and garlic.
- Place another single layer of bread cubes over the top of the mixture.
- In a 3 cup measuring cup, measure the half-and-half, then break in the eggs and add the seasoning.
- Use a whisk or immersion blender to mix the ingredients together well.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top of the casserole, making sure to get it into the corners and all around the top of the dish.
- Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate 2 to 12 hours.
- When ready to bake, remove foil and bake casserole at 325 degrees for 60 to 75 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top and sides of the casserole are a golden brown.
- If the top begins to brown too much before the casserole is done, lay a piece of foil loosely over the top and remove it the last 10 minutes of baking time.
- Let the casserole set for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
