Jan's Ham and Egg Breakfast Strata

This recipe was first served to me 35 years ago while up North snowmobiling with a number of families. Now it typically gets served Christmas morning and on Memorial Day weekend while up North with friends. This is always a crowd pleaser and makes great leftovers.

• 8 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
• ½ teaspoon dry mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Grease a 9x12-inch baking pan with butter. Combine Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese in a bowl.

Step 2

Remove and discard bread crusts. Arrange 1/2 the bread on the bottom of the pan. Top evenly with 1/2 the ham and then 1/2 the cheese mixture. Repeat layers of bread, ham, and cheese mixture.

Step 3

Combine eggs, milk, onion salt, and dry mustard in a bowl. Pour over layers in the baking pan, cover, and refrigerate strata 8 hours to overnight.

Step 4

The next morning, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove strata from the refrigerator and uncover.

Combine corn flakes and melted butter in a bowl and pour evenly over strata.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until set, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let strata sit for 10 minutes before serving.
