Cut the white bread without the crust into crouton size cubes and place them in the 9 x 13 pan. Drain green chili peppers and spread over the bread. Sprinkle 1-1/2 cup cheddar cheese over green chili peppers. Cut 8 oz. cream cheese into cubes and place over the cheddar cheese. Cut cornbread into chunks and sprinkle over cheese. Dice the tomato and sprinkle over cornbread. Spread the 1-1/2 cup of mixed cheese over the bread. Beat the eggs with the milk, half & half, and dry mustard. Pour over the egg mixture over the entire pan as evenly as possible. Cover and refrigerate over night. Bake, covered with tinfoil, for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake another 20 minutes. After you take the egg bake from the oven, let it rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving. You can serve with Tabasco sauce, Texas Gunpowder or salsa. If you would like to add meat, cut up 1smoked ham center cut slice and put it in before the cornbread layer.
