HAM AND CHEESE BREAD PUDDING
This sounds interesting. I grabbed it from a cookbook on my mother's shelf called 'Grandma's Casserole '. I wanted to put in on here so I have it when I am back in the UK. It sounds like it would be a nice brunch dish and maybe especially good for an Easter breakfast or something like that. Coking time doesn't include chilling time since it could be 6 hours or it could be overnight.

HAM AND CHEESE BREAD PUDDING
This is like a hot ham and cheese sandwich! Velvety comfort food in a dense cloak of eggs and bread, both creamy and crunchy in the same bites. I've been on a tangent to utilize ingredients I have on hand in a creative fashion and I came up with this savory bread pudding because of a need to use up some homemade bread that was starting to go stale. I used homemade beer bread, but you could use sourdough, wheat bread, or any other 'sturdy' bread just as well. I used 1% milk with great success, but please use whatever you have on hand. Gruyere or Swiss cheese could be used in place of the Parmesan. Prep time includes refrigeration time. Some might like this for brunch, but I've had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it's very satisfying. It packs very well as a brown bag lunch for me to take to work too. If the ham were left out, it would make a fabulous side dish to your roasted pork loin or other roast meat.

Steps:
- Spray an 8" pan with cooking spray (or butter bottom and sides of dish) and place bread cubes in pan.
- Heat oil in skillet, add onions and 1/2 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp black pepper. Saute onions over medium-high heat until translucent, continue cooking until onions are beginning to brown and caramelize.
- Add garlic and ham, cooking until ham is heated through and any moisture from ham has evaporated off.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, rosemary, salt and black & white ground peppers.
- After combining thoroughly, mix in cheese.
- Spread onion and ham mixture uniformly over bread cubes.
- Evenly pour mixture over bread and ham, taking care to moisten bread in corners and at edges too.
- Cover pan with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, but no longer than 24 hours hours or bread will disintegrate.
- Remove pan from refrigerator 1/2 hour before preheating oven.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake pudding uncovered for about 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, but moist. It will be puffed up and edges and corners will be golden brown.
- Let rest 5 minutes before cutting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°. Butter a 9-by-13- inch casserole dish. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook leeks, covered, until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a small bowl.
- Whisk together eggs and milk. Whisk in the salt and pepper. Set batter aside.
- Layer the bread, ham, reserved leeks, thyme, and cheeses shingle-style in the buttered dish. Pour batter over top; press gently so bread absorbs liquid.
- Bake until puffed and golden brown (tent with foil if edges brown too much before center is set), about 1 hour.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a flavorful cheese like Gruyère or cheddar.
- Add in some chopped cooked bacon or diced ham for a savory twist.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Make sure to soak the bread cubes in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Bake the bread pudding until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
