add peppers. Saute over low heat for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour.
Mix well and saute until there is no extra liquid. Butter a deep casserole.
Spread in half the pepper mixture, top with half the sliced cheese. Repeat
these layers. Combine custard ingredients, pour over top and sprinkle with
paprika. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover casserole and bake 40-45
minutes. Uncover for last 15 minutes. Approximately 6 servings. Works fine to
make 1 1/2 times the recipe.
