Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
16 slices bread, or more to taste, crusts removed and discarded
1 pound ham, chopped
¾ pound shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
3 cups milk
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon dry mustard
3 ½ cups cornflakes cereal
¼ cup butter, melted

Directions

Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Cut bread slices into quarters. Arrange 1/2 of the bread evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared dish to cover completely.
Mix together ham and Cheddar cheese in a medium bowl; spread over bread layer in the dish and top with remaining bread.
Whisk together milk, eggs, and mustard in the same bowl until smooth; pour over bread to soak completely.
Put cornflakes cereal into a separate bowl; drizzle with 1/4 cup melted butter and stir to coat. Spread over the top of casserole. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until cornflakes are browned, about 1 hour.

Tips

You can refrigerate the unbaked casserole for a few hours (instead of 8 hours to overnight) if you're in a rush.
