Breakfast Casserole I
Sounds very good, would be good when having house guests for sure.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted, 1/2 of a standard block
- 16 slices white bread, crusts cut off
- 16 slices Canadian bacon, or ham
- 16 slices Cheddar cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2-4 drops tobasco sauce, or to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups milk
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup spring onion, finely sliced
- 2 cups corn flakes, crushed
Instructions
- Melt butter and brush inside a 9x13 inch baking dish with some of it.
- Assemble 8 "sandwiches" in this order, bread, slice of meat, slice of cheese, slice of meat, slice of cheese, then bread and fit them into the baking dish in one layer. Brush the top layer with some of the melted butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the Worcestershire sauce, salt, mustard, hot sauce, and black pepper. Whisk in the milk and pour over the bread layers in the casserole. Sprinkle the top with red and green bell pepper, and the spring onion.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight to absorb the custard mixture.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 180 C. Melt the remaining butter and mix with the crushed cereal. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole and bake for 1 hour until the center is set. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
The cheese would cost about 180 Baht, think slicing a block of cheese or using pre-sliced (real cheese), and for the ham or Canadian bacon, figure about 100 Baht. For 12 servings this is about 70 cents per serving.
If I was a betting man, I would say assemble this the night before and put in the fridge overnight, however, very important, let the baking dish if using Pyrex to come up to room temp before placing in the oven.
