Ham, Spinach, and Cheese Strata image

From Betty Crocker I think. Could also use ciabatta bread, or whatever bread like that you might have on hand. Could also play around with whatever cheese you have on hand. Time listed does NOT include sitting time in fridge.

I'm not a fan of cheese, so I omitted it from the recipe. The strata was still delicious.

The strata turned out a little dry. I think I should have added more milk or cream.
