Teddy loves it when I cook and bake.
She does not move far from the cook top.
The smells make her hungry and she licks her chops!
She asks with her eyes.
And let's me know when it is all gone.
This is a wonderfully decadent brunch dish that can be assembled ahead of time and cooked off in the morning. Once again, I forgot to take pictures as I assembled it. All you do is line a 9X13 inch pan with sliced bread. I used some stale homemade bread. Then layer Swiss cheese, Black Forest ham and sliced turkey breast. Then another layer of bread, more meat and cheese, finishing with a layer of bread.
Then mix 10 eggs, 2 1/2 cups of milk, 1 cup heavy cream and salt and pepper.
Slowly pour this mixture over the bread allowing it to soak in. Brush the top with 3 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle the top with some shredded cheese and parsley. Cover with saran and refrigerate from 12-24 hours.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 50-60 minutes. It will be puffed and golden. And it will smell fabulous.
Allow it to rest for about 15 minutes to set. Then slice into blocks and serve.
A Monte Cristo brunch pie.

Teddy looks adorable when she´s waiting :-) My dogs actully looked like that yesterday. I got this big bag with pigs ears from a friend. Pigs ears looks cute on pigs, but are kind of creepy lying in a bag :-) I threw them into the owen and my dogs all layed around the owen waiting and dreewling :-)
Have a great day now!

PS: I also loved your post about your recent grocery shopping trip. I even told my mom to come to my place, so that we could look at your photos together. :)
