Cabbage Strata

This is the only casserole I make, and I particularly like it when making meals for new moms. I use the healthier version (but will put the less healthy version in parenthesis). The recipe recommends an 8"X 8" glass dish, but I've used lots of different sizes, and the recipe scales nicely.

Ingredients:
Cabbage mixture:
3 Cups chopped cabbage, cooked and drained
1/4 Cup mayonnaise--it's best if you make the mayonnaise yourself, and then you can mess with the recipe a little. (Mom uses Miracle Whip :/)
3 Tablespoons minced onion. [I usually mince and sweat them on the stove, but if you're in a hurry, use minced onion from the spice aisle. If you use dried minced onions, use only 1 Tablespoon]
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Bread:
Seven slices of bread of your choice, quartered (or just a fluffy white Wonderbread-like monster.) [I've used lots of bread. Homemade is best. Grainy breads make it taste a little funny. Wheat is g$

Cheese:
1 Cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 Cup grated Swiss cheese

Dairy mixture, well combined:
2 eggs
2 1/4 Cups skim milk (whole milk)

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Layer half each of the bread, cabbage mixture and cheese. Add half the salt and half the pepper. Repeat.

At this point, you can refrigerate the whole thing for a day or two, or freeze it for several weeks. When you're ready to bake it, pour the dairy mixture overtop. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes$
