Ingredients
- 12 slices of sandwich bread
- 300g ham slices
- 300g Swiss or Emmentaler cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 to 16 drops Tabasco sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13 oven safe dish with baking spray or butter.
- Arrange 6 slices of the bread in the oven safe dish.
- Top evenly with the ham, then 200g of the cheese, the chopped onion, and the next 6 slices of bread.
- In a bowl, mix thoroughly together the eggs, milk, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, and Tabasco. Pour this mixture over the bread, ham, and cheese in the dish, and then sprinkle evenly with the pepper.
- Top with the remaining 100g of grated cheese. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, up to 12 hours, for the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove the cover from the dish and bake uncovered for approximately 35 to 40 minutes until the egg has cooked through and the top has browned. Let stand for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley if desired and serve.
