Featherbed Eggs

Recipe Ingredients

		Butter - for greasing
6		White bread
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 1/2 cups	219g / 7.7oz	Grated cheese - see * Note
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Milk
6		Eggs

Recipe Instructions

* Note: Use cheeses such as sharp Cheddar, Gouda, provolone or Monterey Jack.

Grease sides and bottom of a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Arrange slices of bread (trim edges if they fit better in your baking dish) in dish. They will slightly overlap. Sprinkle tops of bread lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over bread.

Place milk and eggs in bowl and briskly stir until mixture is all one color and completely blended. Pour milk mixture over bread and cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.

Because dish will be chilled when you are ready to bake it, start it in a cold oven and turn heat on to 350 degrees. Bake until bread custard is puffy and lightly golden, 1 hour. Check at 45 minutes, in case your oven is a little hotter.

Cut into 6 pieces and serve with ham and fruit.
