Holiday Egg Thing Breakfast

Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 10 slices bread
• butter, for greasing the pan
• 3/4 lb shredded cheddar cheese
• 3/4 lb shredded monterey jack cheese
• 8 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 -4 cups light cream or 3 -4 cups milk
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard

Recipe

• 1 butter all the slices of bread on one side and cube them (1 inch squares are fine, but the size is not important).
• 2 butter a large shallow baking dish.
• 3 put about half the bread cubes in the dish (evenly distributed in the pan).
• 4 sprinkle the cubes with half of the cheeses.
• 5 repeat both layers.
• 6 combine remaining ingredients and pour over the bread and cheese mixture (may look very liquidy, but it's okay; the bread will soak up the moisture).
• 7 refrigerate 8-24 hours before baking (i like this b/c you can make the recipe the night before and just throw it in the oven for breakfast the next day).
• 8 bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 min or until brown (check often: this can be a tricky recipe, and oven temperatures can vary a lot).
• 9 you could add a lot of different things like sausage, ham, bacon, diced bell peppers, and onions, so if you'd like to add anything just throw it in with the cream mixture.
• 10 best served with bacon or ham and coffee.
