Strata Meets Crustless Quich = Egg Cake!

This was inspired by the Rachael Ray Show the other day. She made her mom's Egg Cakes and they looked SO good I had to try them! I substituted ham for bacon and used white sandwich bread (because that's what I had in the fridge) and the result was this ooey gooey cheesy cake hot from the oven!Ingredients:

6 slices ham, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
Salt and pepper
EVOO, for coating the pan
8 slices of white bread, crust removed, cut into bite-size pieces

1 c shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1/2 c milk

1/2 c grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preparations:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Heat oil in a large pan. Saute onions until brown.
3. Meanwhile, whisk eggs and milk together.
4. Butter a 9-inch cake pan. Place half the bread pieces on the bottom. Pour in half the onions, then half the ham on top. Pour in half the egg mixture and sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese.
5. Layer on remaining bread, then onions, then ham and top with egg mixture and cheese.
6. Sprink Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
7. Bake for 20 min or until golden brown.
