For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Fontina, provolone, or even a sharp cheddar would be delicious. If you don't have sherry on hand, you can substitute it with dry white wine or chicken broth. Make sure the bread is sufficiently dry so it absorbs the custard well. You can leave the bread pieces out overnight to dry them out. For a richer flavor, consider using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.

Apr 4, 2025I found that 10 minutes uncovered at the end was not enough to brown the top, I needed about 20.
