Our Christmas Morning Breakfast Tradition - French Eggs

Each Christmas morning we enjoy a breakfast called French Eggs.  The nice thing about this dish is that you assemble it the night before. 

On Christmas morning heat up your oven and let it bake for an hour.  You will be able to eat a really good breakfast in total relaxation!

French Eggs

White sandwich bread

1 lb. grated sharp cheddar

1 lb. cooked bacon

4 eggs

2 c. milk

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. dry mustard

Butter enough bread to line a 9x13 glass Pyrex dish.

Butter only one side of the bread and place it buttered side down in your baking dish.

Spread cheddar over this bread layer.

(I usually don't use this much cheese - just use what looks good to you)

Spread cooked bacon over this layer.  I crumble the bacon up.

Butter enough bread to cover the top of your baking dish.

Place the bread in the dish buttered side up.

Mix together the eggs, milk, salt, and dry mustard.

Pour this milk mixture over all of your layers.

Refrigerate overnight.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Merry Christmas!
