16 slices white bread
1/4 lb. soft butter
1 lb. sm. cooked shrimp
1 1/4 lb. Cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
9 eggs, beaten
4 1/2 c. milk with fresh chives
Pinch of paprika

DO NOT preheat oven. Remove bread crusts and spread with butter. Cut into cubes. Grease an oblong glass pan. Add alternate layers of bread cubes, shrimp, and grated cheese, ending with cheese. Season each shrimp layer with salt and pepper to taste. Combine eggs, milk, and chives. Pour over layers so that liquid is just to the last layer. Sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate overnight. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours until puffy and brown. Can serve with light cheese sauce.
