Chef notes
I love this recipe because it's a brilliant use for a leftover charcuterie platter. The savory meats, melty cheeses and zesty veggies make this a hearty meal that will fill you up after a night of fun.
Technique tip: Lightly beating the eggs before adding the milk helps combine the milk with the eggs.
Swap option: For a vegetarian meal remove the cured meats.
Preparation
1.Cut 4 of the bread slices into triangles, cut remaining bread slices into cubes. Arrange bread triangles in a lightly greased 9- by 13-inch baking dish and top with the bread cubes. Top with charcuterie, cheeses and vegetables.
2.In a mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire, salt and pepper.
3.Pour the egg mixture over the cheeses and charcuterie. Let sit in fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
4.Preheat oven to 375°F. Let the casserole stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
5.Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until set and the cheese is lightly browned, about 50 minutes.
