The night before:

Grate cheese directly over top.
Finely chop green onion; sprinkle over top.
Finely chop green pepper; sprinkle over top.
Combine the following ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl: well beaten eggs, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, milk, chili flakes and dry mustard.
Pour this mixture over top of the bread and layers.
Cover and leave in fridge overnight.

In the morning:

Preheat oven to 350F.
Melt butter in a medium-sized microwave safe bowl. Add cereal and any seeds you may enjoy to the melted butter. Toss to completely coat. Sprinkle evenly over egg mixture.
Bake in hot oven uncovered one hour or until knife comes out clean.
