Breakfast Strata....


How about a little menu for breakfast items- the next few entries will be a few everyday items and some special occasion items. Here we go, for starters, this delicious breakfast strata, great for big groups like showers and perfect for holidays like Christmas morning or EASTER BRUNCH! The best part, you get to make it the night before (in 10 minutes!) and then you are free the in the morning while it bakes away in the oven!

Ingredients:
8 slices of potato bread, cut into cubes (no crust)
8 cups diced ham
2 cups of shredded swiss cheese
8 eggs
2 cups of milk
4 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. dry mustard (you can use regular mustard if you don't have dry)
s & p to taste

Directions:
Butter a 9x13 dish, layer it with bread, then sprinkle the ham over top, then the cheese. In a bowl whisk the eggs, butter, mustard, and S & P. Pour that mixture over the top of the dish. Cover the dish and refrigerate it over night. In the morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake it for 50 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Serve with: fresh fruit and juice!
