12 slices bread
Spreading butter
Toppings - shrimp, crab, chicken ham
Salt, pepper, paprika
3 whole eggs
3 c. milk
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese, grated

Remove crusts from bread. Butter both sides of bread; place in proper size pan deep enough to hold milk. Top with can of above toppings. Place another piece of buttered bread on top of each.

Beat eggs together with milk and add grated cheese; pour this mixture over bread sandwiches. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees.

This can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerate. After baking one can garnish with a few asparagus tips or a little mushroom gravy depending on the choice of filling. Serves 6.
