1/2 cup butter
1/2 lb fresh asparagus
1 red pepper
1 onion
8 cups italian bread
2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 cup cooked ham

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the asparagus, red pepper, and onion for 6 to 8 minutes, until slightly tender.
Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, then layer in the bread, cooked vegetables, ham, and Swiss cheese.
Whisk the eggs, milk, marjoram, salt, and pepper, then pour the mixture evenly over the layers.
Press the bread gently into the egg mixture and let the casserole rest for 15 minutes.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until browned and firm in the center.
