"DIJON CHICKEN STRATA"

1 8-ounch loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (6 cups)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey

1/2 cup chopped green onions (4)
3 cups shredded colby jack cheese (12 ounces)
5 eggs

Place bread cubes in a greased 3-quart rectangular baking dish.  Layer chicken, mushrooms (if using) and green onions over bread, sprinkle with cheese.

In a large mixing bowl beat eggs; beat in milk, mustard and pepper.  Carefully pour over layered chicken mixture.  Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

Bake, uncovered, in a 325 degree oven about 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.  YIELD:  10 to 12 servings
