Toast the bread on one side only.  Set the oven to 350°F or Gas Mark 4. Butter the bread on the untoasted side, trim off the crusts and cut into fingers. Butter a deep ovenproof dish and cover the base with a layer of bread, toasted side down and cover with a layer of cheese. Mix the seasonings together, sprinkle a little evenly over the cheese and top with a layer of bread, toasted side down. Continue in this way, finishing with a layer of cheese. Warm the milk slightly, then lightly whisk in the eggs and pour over the cheese in the dish. Cook for 35 - 45 mins. until golden brown. Serve immediately.
