This rich and hearty brunch dish is loaded with ham, mushrooms and cheese, plus layers of sliced French bread. It’s a terrific choice when you have overnight guests.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 18 slices day-old French bread (3/4 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup stone-ground mustard
  • 1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Directions

  • 2. In a large skillet, saute the ham, mushrooms and garlic in remaining butter until mushrooms are tender. Add the onions; cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute longer. Spoon ham mixture over bread; sprinkle with cheese. Arrange remaining bread slices on top. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Stir in parsley; pour over bread.
