In a large bowl beat well together eggs, mustard, onion, Worcestershire sauce, milk and pepper. Pour over bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, melt butter, pour over casserole and top with crushed Corn Flakes. Bake at 350F for about 70 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cut into squares and serve hot. Serves 8.

This is a Froese family tradition that goes back many years. It is very easy to make and best of all, it鈥檚 made a day ahead and just needs to be baked in the oven Christmas morning. We like to serve it with fresh fruit, breakfast sausages, and champagne and orange juice. For a nice treat, my family enjoys topping it with maple syrup.
