1 t butter
1 1/2 cups vertically sliced

1 T sun dried tomato tapenade
3/4 cup chopped Canadian bacon
6 cups (1inch) cubed sourdough

Melt butter in a large

Reduce heat, cook 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat
and stir in tomato and bacon. Coat a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking
spray, and arrange 3 cups of bread in it; top with half of onion
mixture. Repeat layer with remaining bread and onion mixture.
Combine milk and next 5 ingredients (milk through all the eggs) in a
medium bowl, stir well with a whisk. Pour egg mixture over bread
mixture, and top with cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours
or overnight. Remove casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes
before baking. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a conventional or
convection oven, it should take about 40 minutes until golden brown.
