Oven Cheese Bake

Recipe Instructions Preheat oven to 325. Remove crusts from bread, and cut into cubes. Beat eggs, milk, and seasonings with rotary beater. Stir in bread cubes, cheese and 1/2 can onions. (To make shrimp bake, stir in 2 cups cleaned cooked shrimp.) Pour into 11-1/2"x7-1/2"x1-1/2" greased baking dish. Top with remaining onions. Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake another 15 minutes, until set. Serve immediately. Sylvia's comments: I used a can of french-fried onions instead of the chopped onion, mixed 1/2 into the cheese mixture and used 1/2 to top the casserole. My cheese-crazy kids LOVED it. And I think you could add almost anything to it; it's a basic strata recipe, but the first one I've had come out well.
