Full of fontina and parmesan cheeses, smoky prosciutto, garlicky pesto and fresh tomatoes, Cheesy Prosciutto Breakfast Casserole would be a perfect treat to serve Mom for a Mother's Day Breakfast or Brunch.
Spray a 1-½ quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Layer bread slices in the bottom.
Layer half of the fontina cheese slices on top.
Layer half of the prosciutto slices on top of the cheese.
Layer all of the tomato slices on top of the prosciutto.
Drizzle half of the pesto evenly on top of the tomatoes.
Top with layers of the remaining fontina cheese and prosciutto.
Whisk the eggs, cream, and pepper in a small bowl and pour over the top of the casserole. Use a pancake turner and press down lightly on the top of the casserole to evenly distribute the egg mixture and help the bread absorb it.
Drizzle the remaining pesto over the top and sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over everything.
Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until the casserole is cooked through and golden brown on top. Let it sit for five minutes and serve hot or at room temperature.
