7 slices whole wheat bread, crusts removed
1 red bell pepper, cored and chopped
1 bunch green onions (scallions), chopped
6 ounces reduced fat sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
6 ounces reduced fat Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
5 large eggs
4 large egg whites
3 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, optional
Salt and pepper to taste

Line bottom of a 3-quart or 13x9x2-inch baking dish with slices of bread. Cover with chopped red peppers and green onions. Sprinkle with shredded cheeses.
In bowl, mix remaining ingredients and pour mixture over cheeses. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

Doc's Notes:
This is a great breakfast dish. You might cut this recipe in half. Breakfast foods seem to be the best tolerated of all foods while you are having chemotherapy.
