Bread & Cheese Pudding

• 4 slices bread (stale is fine, homemade or store-bought)
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 to 2 cups shredded cheese

Grease up a 2-quart casserole. Tear the bread into small bits and scatter it in the casserole. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, mustard and salt. Mix very well. Sprinkle the cheese over the bread. Use as much cheese as you like. When I am trying to use up several bits of different cheeses, this is the recipe I choose. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread and cheese in the casserole. Use clean hands to gently press the cheese and bread down into the milk mixture. Bake the dish at 375° for about 30 minutes. It will be done when the top is golden brown and puffed up. Serve hot with steamed spinach and a hearty dessert, like peach pie or apple cobbler. This recipe serves 4.
