Marylyn’s Breakfast Casserole

I generally don’t like complex recipes for breakfast. I am basically a scrambled eggs and bacon kind of guy. I love the complex stuff, but I am too lazy to get up and do it. Lisa was hosting a baby shower for a work friend, so the motivation was there, and Lisa’s mother supplied the recipe. This is not complicated and can be put together quickly with basic ingredients.

16 slices of break
8 slices of ham
8 slices of mild cheddar cheese (or any other cheese you like)
6 eggs
3 cups of milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp dry mustard
1 cup melted butter

Remove crusts from break.
Grease a 9x13 glass baking pan.
Lay 8 slices of bread on the bottom of the pan.
Arrange the ham evenly on top of the bread.
Arrange the cheese evenly on top of the ham.
Arrange the remaining 8 slices of bread on top.
Beat the eggs well, then add the milk, 1/2 cup of butter, salt and mustard and poor evenly over the bread.
Dice the bread crusts and toss with remaining ½ cup of butter. Spread evenly over the top of the pan.

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.
Serve while hot.
