HAM AND CHEESE STRATA image

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.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slice bread, cubed
2 oz cheese, cut in small cubes (i like to use swiss cheese, w/ the ham, but you can use any cheese that suits your tastebuds).
3/4 c ham, cubed
2 Tbsp butter
3 eggs
1 c milk
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion flakes
2 oz shredded cheddar cheese
paprika

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)

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. I found it to be too dry and bland. I think it needed more sauce or cheese.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I think it could have used more flavor.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found it to be a bit dry.

I've made this strata several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's perfect for brunch or a light dinner. I like to add some chopped spinach or diced tomatoes for extra flavor.

This ham and cheese strata was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and turned out so fluffy and cheesy. I love how it's a one-dish meal that can be prepped ahead of time. Definitely a keeper!
