Luncheon Cheese Dish

12 slices day-old bread
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper

Remove crust from bread. Arrange 6 slices of bread in bottom of baking dish, fitting them in so the entire surface is covered. Spread bread with cheese (or slice it and cover the bread with it). Cover with remaining 6 slices of bread. Beat eggs, add milk and seasonings and pour over bread and cheese. Let stand 1 hour. Bake in moderate oven (325 degrees F.) about 50 minutes or until puffed up and browned. Serves 6.
