Notes
- Use good quality ham and Swiss cheese for the best flavor
- Don’t overbake the casserole
- If the bread crumb topping starts to brown too quickly, tent the casserole with foil
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving
- For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere cheese instead of Swiss
- Add sauteed mushrooms, broccoli florets, or asparagus tips for added vegetables
- Gruyere, provolone, or mozzarella would all work well in this recipe as cheese substitutions
- Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
