Instructions: Melt butter in microwave in 9- by 13-inch casserole. Dip 1 side of 6 bread slices in butter to cover lightly; set aside. Place remaining 6 slices in remaining butter in casserole. Top bread with mixture of 3/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic, mild and jalapeno chilies, and artichokes. Place 6 buttered bread slices over cheese mix, butter-side up.

Mix eggs and milk and pour over bread stacks. Top each bread slice with 1 teaspoon pimiento (I arrange it in a heart shape) and 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

Bake, uncovered in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or till knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve hot.
