The Golden Rule
"Measure salt and pepper with your heart, but never rush the resting phase after baking; letting it rest for 5 minutes allows the internal steam to redistribute so your squares hold their shape perfectly."

Chef's Notes
Do not skip the overnight soak! Bread is like a sponge that requires proper time to absorb the rich egg and milk custard, transforming humble toast into a decadent, bread-pudding-like texture.
Pro Tip
When cutting your baked ham into 1/4-inch dice, take your time. Uniform pieces ensure that every single bite of your breakfast casserole delivers an equal balance of smoky meat, melted cheddar, and juicy tomato.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you fail to place a baking tray under your dish before sliding it into the oven, the bubbling egg custard and melting cheddar will inevitably overflow, setting ablaze on the bottom heating element and smoking out your entire kitchen.

Royal Court Comedy
A breakfast casserole is just a fancy way of telling your guests you have no idea how to make an omelet for each of them individually.
The Culinary Science
As the casserole bakes at 375°F, the proteins in the eggs coagulate and trap the moisture from the whole milk, turning the liquid custard into a firm, stable gel that holds the heavy layers of bread, ham, and cheese together.
