Sue's Cheese Charlotte

8 slices white bread, buttered and cubed
½ cup dry white wine
½ pound grated cheddar cheese
4 eggs
2 cup milk
1 tsp worstershire sauce
½ tsp. prepared mustard
Salt, onion salt & pepper to taste

Arrange half the bread cubes in the bottom of a greased 8 x 8" baking dish. Sprinkle ¼ c of wine over bread. Cover bread with half the cheese. Repeat layers with remaining bread, wine, and cheese. Beat eggs slightly, stir in milk and seasonings. Pour over bread. Let stand at least an hour (I usually do it the night before…)

Bake at 325° for one hour.

Our favorite additions are Italian sausage, and the chicken or turkey version is very tasty. I have done it with ham and bacon, and it's just delish! This has been our Christmas breakfast for eons.
