I have a loaf. Don't want to use it for sandwich's. What can I make with it?

bread pudding.

Do you know how to make a cheese strata???? Is bread in that? I've never made one. I could make myself some great bruschetta with shrimp I guess. I wanted to make some kind of casserole though.

Make croutons!

That's a lot of croutons!!!!!lol Great idea though. It would make a great stuffing though. Ok, here's the deal, I need a guy to cook for. Otherwise, I'm just not inspired to cook. Who wants to come for dinner?

Some shoes or a nice lawn chair . ;*D

HAHAAHA too funny. I could and fill it with dip.

or fill dips with it! Somehow that does not sound right!

This is the basic cheese strata with some mild green chiles to add some flavor.

Refrigerate this egg and cheese casserole overnight, if desired, then pop it in the oven for breakfast.
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:

* 16 slices white bread
* 1 pound cheddar cheese, sharp, shredded
* 2 teaspoons dry mustard
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* 1 small can green chiles, chopped, 4 ounces
* 4 cups milk
* 6 eggs

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim bread; cut into cubes. In a 3-quart baking dish, put in half the bread cubes, cheeses, dry mustard, salt , pepper, and green chilies. Repeat a second layer. Pour beaten eggs and milk over the layers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Bake (uncovered) in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until bubbly and slightly brown on top.
Serves 8 to 12.

My sister gave me what is supposed to be the "best ever" strata recipe but I can't seem to lay my hands on it at the moment. As I recall when we made it last November, it had goat cheese, Monterrey jack and chedder, and other things in it too.

This recipe sounds fabulous! Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!
