Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Ham steak or leftover ham, cubbed

  • 8 large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk, Dairy-free Milk
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Mild to medium Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3-4 Green Onions (Scallions)
  • 1 Spinach, Large Handful

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Once the eggs are mixed add the bread, ham, both cheeses, spinach, and green onions. Mix well then pour into the baking pan. Gently press down so the bread is partly covered in the egg mixture.
