Ham and Cheese Breakfast Bake
Ingredients
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 cups cubed bread
  • 4 ounces diced country ham
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. This will ensure that your Strata bakes smoothly and easily.
3
In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, milk, and salt in a smooth blend. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully incorporated.
4
Now, it's time to assemble your Strata. Place approximately 3/4 of the bread cubes into the prepared baking dish, followed by a sprinkling of diced ham and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.
5
Using a gentle pouring motion, carefully pour the egg mixture over the top of your Strata.
6
Then, add the remaining bread cubes and gently press them all over to ensure they are fully submerged in the liquid.
7
Once your Strata is evenly coated with the egg mixture, sprinkle any remaining Cheddar cheese over the top.
8
Finally, place your Strata in the preheated oven and bake until it reaches a light golden brown color and is set in the middle, approximately 40 minutes.
9
After baking, allow your Strata to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
