   • Lightly grease a 9 x 12-inch baking pan.

2. Layering:

   • Spread half of the bread cubes evenly in the prepared pan.
   • Sprinkle half of the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese over the bread cubes.
   • Repeat the layering process with the remaining bread cubes, ham, and cheese.

3. Egg Mixture:

   • In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

4. Assembly:

   • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, ham, and cheese in the baking pan.

5. Refrigeration:

   • Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the egg mixture.

6. Baking:

   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Place the baking pan in a larger pan filled with water to create a water bath, which helps to ensure even cooking and prevent the souffle from drying out.
   • Bake the souffle for approximately 45 minutes, or until it is puffed up and set in the center.
   • If the top of the souffle begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

7. Serving:

   • Once baked, remove the souffle from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs or additional shredded cheese, if desired.
