A Favorite Layered Breakfast
Bread, eggs, and cheese – this strata recipe has everything you need for breakfast all in one savory dish! This particular layered casserole comes from a family friend and we have been making it for YEARS! Our version includes ham for an even more delicious flavor. Because it chills overnight, it’s our go-to make-ahead breakfast casserole. We love to prep it and pop it in the oven for weekends, brunches, and of course holidays (a great way to use leftover holiday ham). It’s a no-fuss breakfast favorite that’s packed with flavor!
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
CHILL TIME: 4 hours
COOK TIME: 45 minutes
12 slices white bread – about 12 ounces. Try challah, brioche, French Bread, or Sourdough Bread. Slightly stale bread works best to absorb the egg custard. 2 cups cooked ham – or cooked crumbled bacon, cooked sausage pieces, or make it meatless 2 cups shredded monterrey jack cheese 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese – or swiss cheese, monterrey jack, or colby jack cheese (Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as well.) 6 large eggs – room temperature 3 cups milk – Must be room temperature otherwise the butter will harden into little flakes or droplets instead of incorporating smoothly. ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
