8 slices day old bread
8 oz. sharp American or Swiss cheese, sliced
4 eggs
2 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
Pepper to taste
Paprika

Trim crusts from 4 slices of the bread. Cut trimmed slices in half diagonally to make 8 triangles. Set aside.

Arrange trimmed crusts and remaining 4 slices untrimmed bread on bottom of a 9 inch square baking pan so the bottom is covered. Place cheese slices over bread in baking pan.

Arrange the 8 bread triangles in 2 rows over the cheese each overlapping the one before. Beat eggs and blend in milk, chopped onion, salt, mustard and pepper. Pour over bread and cheese. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and let stand in refrigerator several hours, or on cabinet 1 hour. Bake, uncovered at 325 degrees until knife inserted off center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 6.
