The mild Italian flavor makes this dish a great choice for a brunch. I served it at my daughter's First Communion celebration. The wonderful aroma greeted guests as they came in the house.Peggy Nelson, Webster, Minnesota Ingredients:
butter, softened |
16 slices bread, crusts removed |
1 cup diced fresh tomato |
1/4 cup diced green pepper |
8 slices salami or pepperoni |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese |
6 egg, lightly beaten |
3 cups 2% milk |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
Directions:
1. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place eight slices buttered side up in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Set aside 1 tablespoon each of the tomato and green pepper. Layer with salami, cheese, remaining tomato and green pepper. Top with remaining bread.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, basil, salt and Italian seasoning. Pour over bread. Sprinkle with reserved tomatoes and green pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
