There is nothing better than a leisurely breakfast.  I love to have a hearty breakfast in the morning, being that I am not a true morning person, making an elaborate breakfast for me is, difficult.  Here we have Cracker Barrel’s recreation of a Strata, this recipe is one that you can prepare the night before, perhaps while you are cooking dinner, and pop this into the refrigerator, and take out and place into a hot oven for about 30 minutes, and you have a hearty breakfast. 

You may want to substitute the ham for another type of meat in your refrigerator, or you may even want to go meatless.  This recipe can be made in a million different ways, but to recreate, copy, or even clone this ham and cheese casserole as written below.

Yield: Serves 2.

1/3 C. lean cooked sliced ham (country cured ham if available)
1 slice sour dough bread (remove crust and cut to fit bottom of casserole dish)
4 – 5 eggs (beaten, you want one cup of eggs)
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

Spray casserole dish with a none stick spray and place sour dough bread on the bottom of casserole dish. Beat eggs, add salt, pepper, evaporated milk and mix until completely. Pour egg mixture over bread. Sprinkle diced ham and shredded cheese over egg mixture and cover with plastic wrap or another type of lid. Place casserole in refrigerator overnight or in refrigerator for at least five hours.

Place casserole in a preheated oven at 375 for 20 – 22 minutes depending on the depth of the casserole dish.  You will know this is completely done when you shake the dish slightly and the eggs do not wiggle.
