Christmas Morning Life Saver
  • 1 (18 ounce) loaf sliced white bread
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced or shaved ham
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash TABASCO® Pepper Sauce
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted


  1. Trim crusts from bread; reserve crusts. Cover bottom of greased 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) baking dish with slices of bread, trimming to fit if necessary. Cover with ham, then cheese. Top with another layer of bread.
  2. Whisk eggs. Add onion, green pepper, dry mustard, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco; whisk to combine. Whisk in milk. Pour mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
