BREAKFAST EGG CASSEROLE 
6 slices bread, crusts removed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 lb. shrimp or ham, cut ham into small bite-size pieces
1/2 lb. Old English sliced cheese, cut into 1/2-inch bite-size pieces
1/4 c. melted butter (Note: 1/2 stick, not 1/4 lb.)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
3 eggs
1 pt. milk

Prepare a 9 x 13-inch casserole by greasing with butter. Arrange in layers of bread, shrimp or ham, cheese and repeat with another layer. Beat eggs well; add mustard, salt and milk. Pour over all. Let stand overnight in refrigerator.

Bake 1 hour at 350°F. We prepare a casserole dish of the shrimp and also one of the ham for Christmas morning brunch. The shrimp is the one that we prefer. However, I bake both and it is still great warmed in the microwave oven for a later breakfast.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
