Recipe of the week: Mom's Ham, Egg & Cheese Bake

This is a yummy dish that my mother usually makes on holiday mornings. It's great if you love breakfast - which I do! This is some serious comfort food!!

Ham, Egg & Cheese Bake (can be made without the ham, so vegetarians will enjoy too)

12-15 slices of bread
8 slices of chopped ham
9 slices of cheese of choice (I enjoy a good cheddar)
6 eggs well beaten
3 1/2 cups milk
salt & pepper to taste
butter
optional: green peppers, onions, mushrooms

Butter bread on both sides and place 4-6 slices in a 9 x13 pan (fill in extra space with 1/4 or 1/2 slices).

Place ham and cheese (and any optional items) on the bread and cover with another layer of buttered bread.

Combine eggs, milk & seasoning; pour slowly over bread, making sure all the bread is soaked.

Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Bake uncovered 1 hour at 350 or until set.
