Preheat Oven:

Notes

Use leftover holiday ham for a richer flavor.

Switch up the cheese — cheddar for sharpness, pepper jack for spice, or mozzarella for extra meltiness.

Assemble ahead: prepare and refrigerate (unbaked) up to 24 hours in advance; bake when ready to serve.

Great for freezing — bake, cool, then wrap individually for grab-and-go lunches.
