Ingredients

½ loaf dry French bread, broken into pieces
3 tablespoons butter, melted
8 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (1/4 inch thick) ham slice, coarsely chopped
1 ¾ cups milk
9 eggs
4 green onions, minced
¼ cup sherry
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Arrange bread pieces in the prepared baking dish; drizzle with melted butter. Top with Swiss cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and ham.
Whisk milk, eggs, green onions, sherry, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until foamy; pour over bread mixture. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Remove dish from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
