- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
-
Grease the bottom of an 11×13-inch baking pan.

Remove crusts from the bread and layer them in the bottom of the pan.

Add a layer of sliced cheese, followed by a layer of back bacon or ham, and then another layer of bread with the crusts removed.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add dry mustard, minced onion, chopped green pepper, and salt & pepper to taste.
-
Pour the egg mixture over the layers of bread, cheese, and ham in the pan.

Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.

The next morning, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
