This easy ham and cheese breakfast casserole makes a delicious brunch, breakfast, or brinner! Such an easy dish to make it ahead of time!
Our mom used to make this Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole growing up when we would have breakfast for dinner.
I came across the recipe a few weeks ago, and it brought back SO MANY MEMORIES! It is so easy to throw together the morning of, let it sit in the fridge all day, and throw it into the oven right before dinner.

When you say “day old bread” what does that mean exactly? Buy a loaf and leave out of the bag to get stale or what? Can you use regular soft bread? I know this is probably a stupid question sorry!

You are fine to use regular soft bread. If you have bread that is getting a little stale and at the end of whether or not you would use it in a sandwich, that is good bread for this casserole. But a new loaf will work too. Keep the questions coming....happy to help!
