Carol's Strata
12 slices day old bread
½ lb. grated cheddar cheese
5 eggs
2 ½ cups milk
1 tsp. mustard
1 Tbsp. minced onion
1 tsp. salt
black forest ham
cooked bacon slices broken into chunks
Remove crusts from bread and slice into ½ inch cubes. Grease 9 x 13 pan. Put half of bread in pan; top with ham and bacon and half of the cheese. Top with rest of bread cubes and pour egg mixture over cubes. Put remaining cheese on top and press down so that all the cubes get soaked. Cover with thin foil. Put in fridge for an hour or overnight. (I usually grease the tin foil so that it does not stick to the cheese. I bake it covered until about the last 15 minutes and I remove the tin foil so the top will brown a little.
Bake 350 for at least an hour. Make sure it is cooked in the centre.
