Ingredients

  • 1/2 loaf egg-based bread (such as challah or brioche), cut into cubes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 cups deli ham, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt and pepper.
  2. Pour the cubed bread into the mixture. Stir gently to combine then let the bread steep for 20 minutes.
  3. Add butter to the inner pot of your rice cooker and turn on the Sauté-then-Simmer® STS function. Allow the butter to melt then sauté the chopped onion until it’s translucent and soft.
  4. Stir in the ham and continue to sauté for 10 minutes or until ham is slightly seared.
  5. Pour the steeped bread cubes into the inner pot. Mix in cheddar cheese, stirring gently to evenly combine all ingredients.
