Fluffy Ham and Egg Strata

12 slices white bread, buttered and cubed.
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1-2 c. ham, cubed
10 eggs
3 c. milk (For richness, you can use some half and half or evaporated milk)
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 T. minced onion. You can use any onions you have. I usually add more than this.
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Alternate layers of cubed bread (first), cheese (second) and ham (third) in buttered 9 x 13 pan or 2 qt. baking dish. Make two complete layers before adding egg mixture.

Blend eggs, milk, mustard, onion and seasonings. Pour over layered mixture. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until set. This casserole will set more after taken out of oven. Because of the amount of eggs, it is super fluffy.

Tips: You can substitute ham with canadian bacon, bacon or sausage - whatever you have. You can add peppers, olives, mushrooms, tomatoes. Enjoy it for dinner, also!
