Vegetable Custard Casserole
Dairy
6 slices firm white bread
¼ cup butter
1 cup whole kernal corn, drained
2 cups thinly-sliced zucchini
4-oz can diced Ortega chiles
2 cups (1/2 lb) shredded jack cheese
4 eggs
1½ cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 375°.
Trim crusts off bread. Spread butter evenly over slices. Arrange, buttered side down, in a 9" x 13" pan. Layer corn, zucchini, chiles, and cheese, in that order.
Beat eggs slightly. Beat in milk, salt and pepper. Pour over cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30 - 40 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffy. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
