Steps:
- Rinse asparagus and snap off woody ends of the stems. Cut spears into 1-inch pieces.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus; cover and cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add onion and red pepper. Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place bread cubes in a 9x13-inch baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with chopped ham, spoon on the cooked vegetables, and top with 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over bread mixture in baking dish.
- Cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours.
- Bake uncovered at 350℉ for 45-55 minutes, until set and golden brown.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes more, until cheese is melted.
- Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
- To break off the woody bottoms of the asparagus stems, just hold onto a spear of asparagus toward the bottom with both your hands. Bend the asparagus spear gently until it snaps. It will naturally snap apart at the best place to separate the woody end and tender tip. Or, just cut the spears with a knife, cutting where the green color fades if you'd prefer.
- If the asparagus is young and thin, you just need to trim off the very bottom of the spears -- no need to snap the spears because there's really no thick, woody part to them yet.
- I sometimes use a mixture of Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese, or a mixture of Swiss and mozzarella.
- It's important for this casserole to sit refrigerated for at least 12 hours. This allows the bread cubes to absorb the egg/milk mixture, and creates the casserole's fluffy texture when baked. I don't recommend short-cutting this step.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS
Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.

ASPARAGUS WITH HAM AND EGGS
This is the traditional way to eat asparagus in The Netherlands and probably in Germany and Belgium too. Mostly used are the white asparagus here. I make them using green or white asparagus based on what is available and how the price is. You will need more when using white asparagus because they need to be peeled unlike the green ones. This dish is served here with melted butter drizzled over the asparagus, ham and egg, and some boiled new potatoes. This makes 2 pretty large servings.

Tips:

- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You can cook asparagus in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The best way to cook asparagus is to cook it until it is tender-crisp, which means that it is still slightly firm but not raw.
- Use high-quality ham. The ham in this recipe is a key ingredient, so it is important to use high-quality ham. Look for ham that is smoked and cooked.
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give your bake a richer flavor and texture.

- Bake the dish until it is set. The bake is done when it is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
