Ham, Cheese, and Spinach Strata
"This classic brunch dish is more than delicious. It also helps eliminate some of the scrambling around you'll have to do on Easter morning. It's designed to be prepared ahead of time and then popped into the oven when you're ready. Feel free to substitute cooked sausage for the ham or another cheese for the cheddar. French or Italian bread works well too, in place of croissants, although the latter make for a special treat...."
