Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 slices white bread, with crusts removed
bacon or ham, sliced thinly
sharp cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup green pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1 -2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cups whole milk
1 dash red pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco)
1/4 lb butter
Special K cereal or corn flakes, crushed

Steps:

In a 9" x 13" buttered glass baking dish, put 8 pieces of bread, and add pieces to cover dish entirely.
Cover bread with slices of back bacon or ham- it's best if your meat is about the size of the bread slice, for ease of cutting after it's cooked.
Lay slices of cheddar cheese on top of bacon and then cover with slices of bread to make it like a sandwich.
In a bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper.
To the egg mixture add dry mustard, onion, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce, milk and Tabasco, and then pour over the sandwiches.
Cover and let stand in fridge overnight.
In the morning, melt ¼ lb.
butter, and pour over the top.
Cover with crushed Special K or corn flakes and bake, UNCOVERED for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
It's very nice served with fresh, chopped fruit.
