Ingredients

How to make it

  • In medium, heavy skillet cook meat, onions and fresh peppers, if using, until meat is just cooked through(don't over brown) and veggies are tender.
  • Remove from pan,drain and let mixture cool, slightly.
  • Whisk together eggs, cream and milk until well combined and frothy.
  • Add salt and pepper and the canned, drained chilis, if using.
  • Stir again.
  • In a 12inch cast iron skillet or a glass casserole dish, brush bottom and sides with melted butter.
  • Spread a layer of bread cubes in the bottom. It should cover most of the bottom, but it's not crucial it cover it all, and make sure it's just a single layer.
  • Add 1/3 of the meat mixture over the bread.
  • Add 1/3 of the egg mixture.
  • Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Cojack cheese
  • Repeat layers with bread, meat, egg and cheese.
  • On final layer, go bread, meat, cheese, egg mixture, then top the whole thing with the shredded Cotija.
  • Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
  • Let stand about 20 minutes outside of fridge the next morning, before baking.
  • Bake at 350 for about an hour. Let rest about 5 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro, if desired.

    I like it. You'll forgive me if I use cut up corn tortilla bits in place of the bread; I hope. RJ
