• Mix eggs, milk or sour cream or yogurt, ground mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended and pour over cheese.
• Top with the rest of the cheese and 8 more slices of bread, pressing down so the egg bubbles up and moistens it a little.
• Spray top of bread with butter flavored cooking spray or spread with a little butter covering the whole surface of the bread.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the middle of casserole looks cooked. Knife inserted in middle will come out with melted cheese but not with 'wet' egg when done.
