How to Make Asparagus Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Steam 1 pound asparagus until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  4. Add the steamed asparagus to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. In the prepared baking dish, layer: 6 cups (about 12 slices) cubed bread, 1 cup diced cooked ham, the asparagus and vegetable mixture, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
  9. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
