Make Ahead
Ham & Cheese Strata
- Serves 6
Author Notes
This is a recipe that has been passed about in our family. We make it whenever we have a brunch celebrating the baptism of a new baby. I've made it for the last few years for Christmas morning. I assemble the night before and throw it in the oven an hour before we're ready to eat. —mrathmel
