Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, 1 minced or grated, 1 cut in half for rubbing bread, optional
Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman or white sandwich bread

4 ounces thinly sliced leftover or deli ham
1/2 cup cornichons, sliced lengthwise

Steps:

Provided by velorutionista

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces rye bread (about 5 cups) or 12 ounces pumpernickel bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup ham, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
1/2 small onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 lb mushroom, sliced
3 cups milk
6 eggs, beaten slightly
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces shredded swiss cheese, divided (about 1-1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake 20 minutes, till slightly dried.
  • While bread is baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ham and saute a few minutes. Add oil (if desired) and stir in onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute till onion and garlic are golden and soft and mushrooms have released their liquid. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Whisk together milk, egg, thyme, pepper, and salt.
  • To assemble the strata, layer half the bread cubes in the bottom of a lightly greased 9 by 13 inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with half the ham mixture and 1/3 of the swiss cheese. Repeat layers. Gently pour egg mixture over layers and top with remaining 1/3 swiss cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate* at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • To bake the strata, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake strata, still covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 20-30 minutes, until cheese on top is melted and egg portion is set (check by inserting a knife in the center--if it comes back without egg on it, you're set!).
  • Let strata rest 5 minutes before serving.
  • *Refrigeration time not included in recipe prep/cooking time.

Tips

  • For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
  • To make the casserole more flavorful, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce to the sauce.
  • If you don't have rye bread, you can use white bread, wheat bread, or even croissants.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and refrigerate it overnight. Then, bake it in the morning before serving.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
