Add bread slices in a single layer, gently pressing into egg mixture, and let soak 15 minutes. Flip bread You can soak the bread in the egg mixture for just 30 minutes, but the French toast will be even more delicious if you let it sit overnight. and gently press again into egg mixture. Let soak 15 minutes. (If preparing the day before, refrigerate up to 12 hours, loosely covered, then let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Top bread with remaining ham and cheese. Bake until egg mixture is set and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Turn oven to broil, with rack 4 to 6 inches from heat source. Broil until bread is toasted and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot with maple syrup.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       05/15/2020   I have been making this recipe for years. I just checked the recipe again to make sure I was still doing it right! It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The best part is that it's easy and make-ahead. It is a hit for brunch every time.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/19/2015   I'm confused. Recipe calls for 8 slices of bread and 8 slices of ham. Each slice is stuffed with one slice of ham. At the end of the recipe it says "top with remaining ham" What ham??? On last count 8 slices is 8 slices. Please explain.
