Monte Cristo Casserole


  • Author: Laura

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 packages (12.5 ounces each) frozen French toast slices, thawed
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup of thick sliced deli baked ham, diced
  • 1 cup thick sliced deli roast turkey, diced
  • 8 ounces or 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • powdered sugar
  • 24 oz container of frozen strawberries slices, thawed and drained (see note below)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or ice cream topping (I used my homemade freezer jam)

 


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.  Cut the slices of thawed French toast into 3/4 inch cubes.
  2. In a bowl,  whisk together milk and eggs.
  3. In a large bowl, place half of the French toast cubes.  Pour half of the egg mixture over the cubes and toss gently with a spoon or spatula.  Toss until cubes are well coated.
  4. Place the coated French toast cubes in a 9 x 13 baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
  5. Next layer half of the ham, turkey, parsley and cheese on the coated French toast cubes.
  6. Using your same large bowl, toss together the remaining French toast cube and egg mixture to coat.  Place the coated French toast cubes in an even layer in the baking dish followed by layers of the remaining ham, turkey, parsley, and cheese.
  7. While the casserole bakes, combine the sliced strawberries with the jam or ice cream topping.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and set in center. Remove to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes.
  9. Cut into 8-12 squares. Sprinkle the top of each square with a dusting of powdered sugar followed by a spoonful of the strawberry mixture.

 

Notes

Note: 2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries can be used in place of the frozen strawberries
