Chili Relleno Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 slices firm white bread
butter
2 c. sharp Cheddar cheese
2 c. shredded Jack cheese
1 (7 oz.) can Ortega chilies
6 eggs
2 c. milk
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. each: garlic powder, oregano, pepper and dry mustard

Preparation

Trim crusts from white bread and spread one side of each slice with butter.
Arrange bread, buttered side down, in a baking dish. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over bread slices, then sprinkle Jack cheese over.
Distribute chilies over mixture.
These should be minced and seeds removed.
In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, paprika, salt, garlic powder, oregano, pepper and dry mustard.
Pour egg mixture over cheese.
Chill overnight or at least 4 hours.
Bake uncovered at 325\u00b0 for 50 minutes until lightly browned.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
I sometimes lay strips of foil around the outer edges if they get too brown before the center.
