A Twist in the Tail: An absolutely purrfect cozy mystery (The Oyster Cove Guesthouse Book 1)

Brunch Egg Dish Casserole

Josie remembers her mom getting this recipe from Millie when she was a kid. Rose always said it was perfect for coffee get-togethers because she could make it at night and just slide it in the oven the next morning, cooking while she visited with her guests. Josie likes it because she’s a little lazy in the morning and can’t always get it together in time to cook something before the guests come down for breakfast.

Ingredients:

7 - 10 slices of white bread, cubed

8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

8 eggs

3 cups skim milk

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp dry mustard

4 oz ham, cubed

Directions:

Butter a 9 x 13 pan. Spread half the cubed bread on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half the cheese on top of the bread, then layer half the ham on top of that. Repeat these layers.

Beat eggs, milk, salt, pepper and mustard together. Pour on top of layered ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, bake (covered) at 350 degrees (f) for 50-55 minutes.
