Ham and Cheese Sourdough Breakfast Casserole (not eggy)

Molly LaFontaine
My ham and cheese sourdough breakfast casserole isn’t eggy and has the classic blend of ham and cheese. It’s perfect for Mother’s Day brunch, busy Saturday mornings, and even on Sundays before a football game. You’ll love how easy it is to whip up the same day or the night before. Also, it’s a great way to use up old bread or a loaf that didn’t turn out!
