Ham & Cheese Party Platter Leftover Breakfast Casserole

While putting away the party leftovers --

Grease 13x9 pan with butter; spread bread/bun cubes over entire bottom of pan (use more or fewer buns if using a larger/smaller pan).

Sprinkle ham pieces and cheese slices over bread; set aside.

Mix eggs and milk until frothy, add several squirts of mustard, beat and then pour over the ham, cheese, bread cubes.

Customize the toppings to the eaters' choices. (Dad likes everything, but Mom doesn't want tomatoes, and DS would rather kiss a rattlesnake than eat onions, so let's make everyone happy!).

Add another layer of leftover cheese; sprinkle sausage dices artfully (or optionally). Olive slices can go on now, too or any other little tidbits of really tasty niblets.

Top pan with foil; chill until morning or leave on the counter if you're a brave soul.

Next morning - pop pan in oven, set to 350*. Bake for 20-30 minutes, remove foil, bake for another 3-5 minutes until top is bubbly and "set".

VARIATIONS: Use your favorite cheese, try turkey instead of ham.

Great way to use up the cheese and sausage tray that was forgotten in the fridge!

EXTRAS: black or green olives.

Par-cook: stuff from the veggie tray (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots).

DELISH: add a few smidgens (or a LOT!) of the veggie dip to the egg/custard bowl -- or drop on top in cheerful dollops. Oh yum!
