Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 5 slices bread
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Butter bread slices and cut into cubes.
  • In a 1 ½ quart buttered baking dish, alternate layers of bread cubes and grated cheese.
  • Mix beaten eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Pour over bread and cheese mixture.
  • Store in refrigerator overnight.
  • Starting in a cold oven, bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. If not golden after an hour, bake a few minutes longer.

Notes

    • Be sure to butter the bread before you cut it into cubes. Barbara used some leftover hamburger and hot dog buns that were becoming stale. These kinds of dishes are a great way to use up bread that is on the edge of being stale.
    • Butter your 1.5 quart baking dish before adding the bread and cheese.
    • An 8 x 8 inch baking dish will work too.
    • Dry mustard can be omitted, or add a squirt of yellow mustard instead.
    • Serve along side hash browns.
