Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 1 tbsp of softened butter.

Cube 4 cups of bread into half inch to inch chunks.

Add the cubed bread to the greased casserole dish.

Dice 1 1/2 cups of ham steak and sprinkle it over the bread cubes.

Shred 1 cup of cheese and sprinkle it over the ham and bread.

In a large measuring container, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp of seasoned salt, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp of onion powder.

Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the casserole dish and press lightly to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.

Uncover the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
