Ingredients

  • 1 medium loaf baguette French bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 1/2 lb sliced deli ham
  • 4 oz Cheddar cheese, sliced
  • 7 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Maple syrup, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Cut a slit in each slice of bread almost all the way through, leaving the bottom connected. Stuff each slit with slices of ham and cheese.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, beat 3 of the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper, using whisk. Pour into baking dish. Place the stuffed bread in baking dish; let stand 15 minutes.
  • 4
    Turn the bread over, and top with more cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  • 5
    Set oven control to broil. Broil with tops of toast 3 to 5 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
  • 6
    Fry remaining eggs in a skillet to desired doneness, and serve on top of French toast with maple syrup.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This recipe can easily be scaled up or down, depending on the number of people you need to serve.
  • tip 2
    If desired, this recipe can also be prepared on the stovetop. Dip the stuffed bread into the egg mixture, and then fry in a greased skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Top with more cheese and a fried egg just before serving.
