I would have liked the strata to be a bit more fluffy, but it was still very tasty.

This strata was a great way to use up leftover ham and asparagus. It was also a nice change from the usual breakfast routine.

This strata was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a ham that was already seasoned.

I would have liked the strata to be a bit more cheesy, so I added some extra shredded cheddar cheese to the top.

The strata was a little bland for my taste, so I added some salt and pepper to taste.
