Not strictly a casserole, but one of my favorites.

Oven 325			Classic Cheese Strata 		Serves 6

8 slices day-old bread			1/4 C finely chopped onion
8 oz. American or Swiss cheese, sliced  1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
4 eggs					Paprika
2 1/2 C milk				1 1/2 tsp. salt (optional, natch)

1.  Trim crusts from 4 slices of bread.  Cut in half diagonally to make
8 triangles; set triangles aside.
2.  Arrange 2 slices of bread and 1/2 of the timmings to cover the bottom of
a 9x9x2" pan.  Place 1/2 of the cheese over the bread.  Repeat with remaining
bread and cheese.  Top with triangles.
3.  Beat eggs; stir in milk, onion, mustard, salt, & dash pepper.
4.  Pour over bread & cheese layers.  Sprinkle with paprika.  Cover; chill in 
refrigerator several hours or overnight.
5.  Bake, uncovered in a 325 degree oven 1 1/4 hours or until a knife
inserted near center comes out clean.  Let stand 5 min. before serving.
(And, yes, it WILL fall in those 5 minutes! ;-})
