For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sauteed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere, Swiss, or Monterey Jack. If you don't have time to refrigerate overnight, let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
