HAM AND CHEESE STRATA
I've served this both for breakfast/brunch, as well as for dinner with a salad. It's very versatile, and you can do it with chicken instead of the ham, if you prefer.

Steps:
- 1. Lightly grease a small baking dish, such as a 8x8" pan, or a small casserole dish. Layer half of the bread cubes on the bottom. Layer the cheese cubes and the ham over the bread. (Note: At this point, you can layer some chopped spinach over the ham/cheese, if desired ... but make SURE the spinach is well-drained, and squeezed VERY dry! Top with the remaining bread cubes. Dot with butter.)
- 2. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, seasonings, and onion flakes.
- 3. Pour the milk mixture over the entire bread mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Sprinkle with paprika.
- 4. Refrigerate overnight, or at least a couple of hours.
- 5. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake for 45 minutes, until set. Serve hot, with a salad, if making for dinner. If you're using this for a brunch, some fresh fruit on the side is nice, like pineapple or a fresh fruit salad.
- 6. Note: if you really like cheese, add extra. I do, and nothing's better than a "little extra cheese". :o)

[email protected]I'm not a fan of ham, so I substituted turkey bacon. It was still delicious!

[email protected]This strata was a bit too rich for my taste. I would use less cheese next time.

[email protected]I used sourdough bread instead of French bread and it turned out great. The strata was still light and fluffy, but with a slightly tangy flavor.
