Ingredients:

  • 12 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 3/4 cups (650 ml) lactose-free half and half
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces (225 g) hard cheese, such as Cheddar, Harvati or Swiss, (or a combo). finely shredded
  • 1 pound (455 g) low FODMAP baguette, (gluten-free or sourdough), sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch (12 mm) pieces
  • 6 ounces (170 g) sliced low FODMAP ham, chopped
  • 2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, sliced crosswise
  • 4 ounces (115 g) fresh broccoli florets

Preparation:

  1. Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Coat the inside of a 3-quart (2.8 L) casserole dish with nonstick spray; set aside.
  2. Whisk the eggs, half-and-half and mustard in a mixing bowl until blended and season well with salt and pepper. Whisk in the shredded cheese.
  3. Arrange half of the bread on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread. Scatter half of the ham, tomatoes and broccoli over the bread. Arrange a second layer of bread, egg mixture, ham, tomatoes and broccoli. Gently press everything down into the egg custard.
  4. Bake casserole for about 40 to 50 minutes or until custard is set and a bit puffed; it might take on a little color here and there. Allow to sit for a few minutes and serve hot or warm.

Tips
  • At the end of Step 3, you can cover the casserole tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
