Broccoli and Ham Bread Pudding

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Broccoli and Ham Bread Pudding

2

frozen soft white dinner rolls (from 12.4-oz bag)

2

eggs

1/2

cup milk 

1/4

teaspoon dried basil leaves

1/8

teaspoon salt

Dash pepper

1

cup frozen broccoli cuts, thawed

1/2

cup diced cooked ham 

1/4

cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1 oz)

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray 1 ½ qt. casserole with cooking spray.  Place rolls on cutting board; let stand 10-15 minutes to thaw.  Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, basil, salt and pepper until well blended. Cut rolls into ¾ inch cubes; place in bowl with egg mixture.  Stir to coat. Stir in broccoli, ham and cheese.  Pour into casserole.  Bake 40-45 minutes or until puffed, golden brown, and knife inserted in center comes out clean.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.  Top with more cheese, if desired.
