Monte Cristo Bread Pudding

Ingredients

3 cups bread cubes

2 cups cubed ham

1 cup cubed or sliced turkey

1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

1 cup milk

1/2 cup cream

2 eggs

Powdered sugar (optional)

Raspberry jam (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Lightly grease two individual baking dishes and put one cup of bread cubes into the bottom of each. Divide the ham and turkey between each dish. Top each dish with 1/2 cup of cheese and another 1/2 cup of bread cubes.

3. Thoroughly mix the egg, cream and milk together. Pour half of the egg mixture over the contents of one baking dish and repeat with the other. Cover each dish with plastic wrap, press down on the top a little to make sure the bread is in contact with the egg mixture, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (and up to overnight)

4. Remove plastic wrap and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and with raspberry jam, or just as is!
