Ham'n'cheese Egg Loaf

Submitted by Swan Valley Tammi

"An all-in-one brunch bread; perfect for a summer brunch with a light fruit salad. The original recipe calls for 1/4 tsp. salt, but I omit it because often the bacon or ham add enough. We serve these with Cheez Whiz."

This is the most unusual but the best bread I have had in a long time.This will be a staple in my kitchen. I did not use the bacon as I didn't have any so added a bit more ham. Also used chedder cheese and colby cheese as that is what I had on hand. I am sure that whatever cheese you use it would be wonderful. This sure hit the spot and a cold and windy day. Great use of left over ham. This loaf of bread can't be beat.

I made this and was really lookin forward to a new breakfast item to make but I was a little disappointed. It was ok, but it just seemed like the flavor was a little bland. Next time I think I will add more bacon and maybe some spices. The directions call for adding salt but there was no salt listed in the ingredients.
