Mexican Cheese and Egg Casserole

1 (16-ounce) loaf sliced French bread, crust removed
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chili peppers, drained
10 large eggs
2 cups milk

1. Cut bread into 3/4 to 1-inch cubes (about 10 cups).
2. In a greased, shallow 3-quart casserole or a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish, arrange bread cubes evenly. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt cream cheese; add the chilies. Carefully spread mixture over the top of the cheese.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk. Pour egg mixture over cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
5. Bake, uncovered, in a 350*F (175*C) oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
