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.

How To Make ham and cheese strata
-
1Lightly 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.)
-
2In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, seasonings, and onion flakes.
-
3Pour the milk mixture over the entire bread mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Sprinkle with paprika.
-
4Refrigerate overnight, or at least a couple of hours.
-
5Preheat 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.
-
6Note: if you really like cheese, add extra. I do, and nothing's better than a "little extra cheese". :o)
