Ever once in a while (usually a holiday weekend when many are busy or away) our Sunday school class, the Bible Boomers, has a "Meet and Greet" Sunday. Since this is Labor Day Weekend, that is what the class decided to do in place of a lesson today.
I decided to make a dish I have made only once before for a New Neighbors' Coffee. The recipe was one that Trisha, the wife of our minister, Mark, contributed in a cookbook that the ladies in the church put together a few years after we moved to CA. I wrote the recipe the way she did for the spices. I couldn't find another recipe even close to it and didn't write down the amounts I used before. Feel free to use amounts for your taste.
I like that you prepare this the night before and just have to pop it in the oven the next morning. That is especially nice when you have company, too.
8 slices whole wheat bread
1/2 cup softened butter (I just used my soft spread margarine and lightly buttered both sides of the bread. I didn't come close to using 1/2 cup)
8 oz. sharp shredded cheese
1 4 - oz can diced green chiles
6 - 8 slices ham, diced (enough to make a layer over the cheese)
1-1/2 cups egg substitute or 6 eggs
2-3/4 cups skim milk
Cayenne to taste
Dry mustard to taste
Onion powder to taste
Garlic powder to taste
The night before:
1. Butter bread on both sides
2. Cut bread slices into cubes
3. Lightly spread butter in a 9 x 13 - inch casserole dish
4. Spread the bread cubes even over the bottom of the casserole dish (oops, no pix)
5. Sprinkle a layer of cheese
6. Sprinkle a layer of ham
7. Sprinkle the green chiles on top
8. Beat eggs, milk, and spices in a bowl with a whisk.
9. Pour over casserole
10. Cover and refrigerate overnight
The next morning:
11. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
12. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes
