STRATA (Farm Breakfast) Must be prepared the night before -- makes 12+ servings
1 Lb Bacon (cut into 1/2 inch pieces) 1/2 Lb Cooked Ham (1/2 inch diced) 1 Sm Onion (chopped) 10 Slices White Bread (cubed) 2 Cups Cubed Potatoes.(I like the 'Ore-Ida' - O'Brien) 3 Cups Shredded Cheese. 10 Lg Eggs. 3 Cups Milk 1 Tbs Worchestershire Sauce 1 Tsp Dry Mustard Salt and Pepper to taste.
In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Add ham and onion, cook until onion is tender and transparent. In a non-stick 9 X 13 X 2 inch baking dish, layer 1/2 of the bread cubes, potatoes and cheese. Top with the bacon, onion and ham mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, Worchestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish. Cover and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
THE NEXT MORNING: Remove dish from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Meanwhile: Pre-heat oven to 325° Bake uncovered at 325° for 1 hour or when a knife is inserted and comes out clean. The strata is perfect for a late morning bruch.
This is also my favorite breakfast dish for a dinner.
Buen Provecho!
