MONTEREY JACK CHEESE AND EGG
CASSEROLE
 
1 (16 oz.) loaf unsliced French bread, crust removed
1 1/2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 oz.)
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz.)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, cubed
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chili peppers, drained
10 eggs
2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
Dash ground red pepper

Tear bread into chunks (should have 10 cups). In a greased, shallow 3 quart casserole or 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish, arrange bread chunks evenly. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack, cheddar and cream cheese. Top with chili peppers.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs just until mixed. Stir in milk, mustard, and red pepper. Pour egg mixture over cheese mixture. Cover and chill for several hours or overnight.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 12.
