Brunch Egg Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    1 (4 1/2 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
    1/3 cup sliced green onion
    1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
    1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
    8 ounces cooked ham, cut into julienne strips
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1 3/4 cups milk (I use 1/2 milk and 1/2 fat free half and half)
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, snipped
    8 eggs, beaten
Preparation
    In large bowl, lightly toss cheeses together.
    Sprinkle half the cheese mixture in an ungreased 13x9 baking dish.
    In a medium skillet, cook mushrooms, green onions and red pepper in butter/margarine until onions and pepper are tender.
    Arrange vegetable mixture over cheese. Arrange ham strips over vegetables. Sprinkle remaining cheese over ham.*.
    Heat oven to 350.
    Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
    In large bowl, using a wire whisk (or can use electric mixer), blend flour, milk, parsley and eggs.
    Pour over layers in baking dish.
    Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes or until mixture is set and top is lightly browned (I find I have to bake mine at least 45 minutes).
    Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
    *To make ahead, prepare to this point, cover and refrigerate.
