Key Ingredient

Classic Sliced Ham, 32oz

14 ounces Farmland Classic Sliced Ham

12 slices Thick-Sliced White Bread

3 cups Half and Half

3 Eggs

1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

12 ounces Swiss Cheese, Shredded

4 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour

4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter

4 cups Whole Milk

1/4 cup Romano Cheese, Grated

2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, Sliced Thin

Key IngredientClassic Sliced Ham, 32oz

Directions

1Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and when melted, add the flour, stirring to make a roux.

2Add the milk, bring to a simmer and reduce heat, allowing the béchamel to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently, then remove from the heat and reserve.

3In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the half and half, eggs, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined.

4Heat a griddle to medium-high heat.

5Dredge the slices of bread in the batter and cook on each side until golden brown. Reserve.

6To assemble: Layer 4 slices of the French toast in the bottom of a baking dish. Top with 1/3 of the ham, 1/3 of the béchamel, and 1/3 of the Swiss cheese.

7Repeat the process two more times, then top with the Romano cheese.

8At this point, refrigerate overnight, or bake in a 350ºF oven for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and heated through.

9If refrigerated overnight, allow the casserole to come to room temperature before baking in a 350ºF oven for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and heated through. Serve hot.
