Ingredients

• 1½ cup onions
• 6 tablespoon butter, divided (2 tablespoons for sautéing onions, 4 tablespoons for buttering rolls)
• 10 rolls, cut in half ( I use Costco dinner rolls)
• 3 cups chopped ham chunks
• 2 cups Cheddar or Colby- Jack Cheese grated
• 2 cups Swiss Cheese, grated and divided
• 12 large eggs
• 1½ cups half and half
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• few dashes Tabasco or other hot sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• green onions for garnish, optional

Directions

• The day before serving, or early in the day of serving:
• Sautee onions in 2 tablespoons butter just until softened, about 4-5 minutes on medium heat.
• While onions are cooking, grease a 9x13 pan. Place rolls, halved in baking pan, cut side up. The rolls should be squished together, but not overlapping. Butter the side of the rolls that is facing up.
• Pour the sautéed onions on top of the rolls, sprinkle with cut ham.
• Sprinkle top of ham with 2 cups cheddar or co jack cheese and 1 cup Swiss cheese*.
• Throw the eggs, half and half, dry mustard, hot sauce, salt and pepper into a blender and whirl until blended well.
• Pour the egg mixture over the casserole.
• Spray a sheet of foil with cooking spray on the side that will face the casserole. Top the casserole with foil and seal tightly.
• Place in refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to bake, remove from refrigeratorat least an hour before baking.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set rack in middle of oven.
• Bake covered casserole for 30 minutes.
• Remove foil , sprinkle with remaining one cup of cheese and bake an additional 20-30 minutes without cover.
• Remove from oven when knife inserted in center comes out clean (sometimes I remove when slightly wet), and let sit for about 5 minutes before cutting.
• Garnish with green onion if desired.
