Step 3

Squish the sandwiches into a baking dish, approx 10 ½ inches x 8 ¼ inches and 2 ¼ inches deep.

Beat the eggs, salt, and milk together; then pour over the sandwiches tightly packed into the dish.

Step 5

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 6

In the morning, preheat oven to 400°; take the dish out of the refrigerator and remove plastic wrap.

Step 7

Sprinkle over the grated cheese and Worcestershire sauce; bake for 25 minutes.
