ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons softened butter
8 slices firm white bread
1 (12 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
1 ¹⁄₂ cups milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 ¹⁄₂ cups grated monterey jack pepper cheese
¹⁄₃ cup diced pimento

directions

Preheat oven to 350°; use about ½ tablespoon butter to grease a shallow 2-quart baking pan.
Spread the remaining butter on both sides of the bread, then break the bread into large chunks and place in a single layer, close together, in the baking pan.
Sprinkle the tuna over the bread.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce, and mustard.
Stir in the cheese and pimento; pour the mixture over the bread and tuna, pushing the bread slices into the liquid to absorb it.
Bake 35-45 minutes until the loaf is puffed and golden; serve immediately.
