What you need:
- 1 whole large baguette (3/4 lb)
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
- 2 whole onions, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound cooked ham, cut in 1/2″” cubes
- 4 whole large eggs
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 6 cups spinach leaves (1 bunch), coarsely chopped
- 3/4 pounds fontina, grated
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
What to do:
- Preheat broiler. Diagonally cut baguette crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices and brush both sides with butter.
- Toast on a baking sheet under broiler 3 inches from heat until golden, about 30 seconds on each side.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook onions in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until ham is lightly browned.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl and whisk in milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper.
- Add toasted bread and toss gently. When the bread is saturated, transfer it to a shallow 3-quart casserole, slightly overlapping slices. Add any remaining egg mixture.
- Tuck spinach and ham between slices, reserving a little ham to sprinkle over top.
- Sprinkle cheese over pudding, lifting slices with a spatula to allow some to fall between them.
- Sprinkle reserved ham over pudding and bake in middle of oven until puffed and edges of bread are golden and custard is set in middle, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Dont’ forget to serve on Chinet Cut Crystal plates!
Simple, yummy and a fan favorite!
