FRENCH BREAD HAM CHEESE SOUFFLE 
4 c. cubed French bread (about 1/2 loaf - sweet French is best - too much crust is not good)
2 c. cubed ham, cut into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes
1/2 lb. sharp Tillamock or sharp Cheddar, cut into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes
3 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. dry mustard
3 tbsp. melted butter
4 eggs
2 1/2 c. milk

Make a layer of 1/3 of the bread, ham and cheese in a buttered 2 quart shallow baking dish. Mix flour and mustard in a cup and sprinkle 1 tablespoon over layer, then drizzle 1 tablespoon melted butter over this.

Repeat in 2 more layers, then beat eggs and milk until foamy in medium-size bowl and pour over the layers in the baking dish.

Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour or until puffy and golden. Serves 8.
