Dijon Chicken Strata

1 8 oz loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (8 cups)

2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey

1 4 1/2 oz jar sliced mushrooms, drained (I USED FRESH MUSHROOMS...canned mushrooms are NASTY.)

1/2 cup sliced green onions

3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese or American cheese

5 beaten eggs

2 1/2 cups milk

3 TB Dijon-style mustard

1/4 tsp black pepper

1. Place bread cubes in a greased 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Layer chicken, mushrooms, and green onions over bread; sprinkle with cheese.

2. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, and pepper. Carefully pour over layers in dish. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

3. Bake, uncovered, in a 325 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

My sister-in-law got me hooked on dijon mustard! This is from a "Better Home and Gardens Cookbook." It is SO YUMMY. Have it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner!
