Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sliced shallots (about 3 medium)
  • 1 package (8 oz) mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 cups cubed (1-inch) challah bread
  • 2 cups shredded fontina cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
  • 10 eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook shallots in oil 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to caramelize; remove from skillet. In same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the mushrooms. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender and browned.
  • 3
    In baking dish, layer half of the bread, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, the shallots, mushrooms, ham and remaining bread. In large bowl, beat eggs and half-and-half with whisk; beat in Dijon mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour over bread mixture, pressing down slightly. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Croissants are a great substitute for the challah bread in this recipe.
  • tip 2
    Challah tends to be moist bread. If you have a fresh loaf, you can dry out cubed bread by baking in 200°F oven 10 to 15 minutes.
  • tip 3
    Assemble, cover and refrigerate this bake the night before so it’s ready to uncover and pop in the oven in the morning. You may need to add an additional 5 to 10 minutes to bake time.
