Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 ounces sourdough bread, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
  • 1 Gala apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces ham, sliced and torn into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the eggs, the milk, the Dijon mustard, the nutmeg, the salt, and the black pepper and whisk to combine.

Step 4 -Add the sourdough bread pieces to the egg mixture and toss to combine.

Step 5 -Let the sourdough-egg mixture sit, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes.
