Steps:
- Thaw the bread dough overnight, then bring to room temperature before rolling (but don't let it rise).
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the bread dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. When rolling, if the dough springs back, cover with a dry towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Shingle the ham slices onto the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch of exposed dough on all sides. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll the dough into a large log, pinching together the seam and tucking the ends under to seal completely.
- Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

HAM'N'CHEESE EGG LOAF
An all-in-one brunch bread; perfect for a summer brunch with a light fruit salad. The original recipe calls for 1/4 tsp. salt, but I omit it because often the bacon or ham add enough. We serve these with Cheez Whiz.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a metal 9 × 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the chopped ham, scallions if using, thyme, and 1¾ cups (7 ounces) of the Gruyère (reserving the rest for topping). In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be thick.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (1 ounce) cheese over the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.
Tips:
- Choose quality ingredients: Use fresh eggs, high-quality ham, and sharp cheddar cheese. These ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of the loaf.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the loaf in a loaf pan: This will help the loaf to rise evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help the loaf to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
- Serve the loaf with your favorite sides: This loaf is great served with eggs, fruit, or yogurt for breakfast, or with a salad or soup for lunch or dinner.
Conclusion:
This ham, cheese, and egg loaf is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, this loaf is a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout.
