Ingredients

2-1/2 cups bread of your choice (I like to mix whole grains with white for taste and texture)

6 eggs

2 cups milk

Cumin to taste

Black pepper to taste

3 to 4 slices low-fat ham (or crumbled, cooked sausage)

1 small can green chiles

One 8-ounce package finely shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions:

Spray a 9 x 12-inch or larger Pyrex baking dish with butter-flavored non-stick baking spray. Cube or tear bread into chunks and place in pan. Beat eggs with milk and add cumin and black pepper to taste. Chop ham (or use sausage) and sprinkle over the bread. Also sprinkle green chiles then cheese over bread and meat mixture. Pour milk/egg mixture slowly over all (I usually spoon it over with my soup ladle), then press down on entire mixture with a spatula until the milk/egg mixture covers the ingredients. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Place in oven preheated to 350 degrees. Let it cook for about 45 minutes, remove foil, and brown before removing (usually 10 to 15 minutes). (You just need to check it from time to time; it should also be set in the middle.) Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve with warmed salsa of your choice.
