CONTINENTAL CHEESE BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. Cook and stir onion in butter until onion is tender.
• Spread mixture in baking dish 11x7x1 1/2 inch. Top with egg slices, sprinkle with cheese. Beat remaining ingredients except bread in bowl with rotary beater. Pour soup mixture over cheese*; overlap bread slices on top of casserole (these are the small rye bread rounds, not full sized slices). Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through.
• Set oven control to broil and/or 550. Place casserole 5 inches from source of heat; broil 1 minute, or until bread is toasted. (Party rye can be substituted for caraway rye).
• *Do ahead note: To make casserole in advance, prepare casserole as directed except - do not top with bread slices or bake. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. At baking time, place bread slices over top and bake 40 to 45 minutes.
