8 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
2 oz. prosciutto or ham, julienned
2 cups shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
1/2 cup sourdough French bread cubes (1/2-inch cubes)
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart round baking dish, 9 1/2 inches in diameter. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until blended. Stir in the milk, salt, nutmeg, prosciutto, and cheese until evenly distributed. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil to coat. Scatter the bread cubes evenly over the egg mixture. Bake until the omelette is golden brown on top and slightly puffed, 35-40 minutes. Serve hot, cut into wedges.
