Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups French bread, cubed
- 2 cups Cooked ham, diced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 large Eggs
- 2.5 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Arrange half of the cubed French bread in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer half of the diced ham, chopped broccoli, and shredded cheddar cheese over the bread. Repeat the layers with the remaining bread, ham, broccoli, and cheese.
Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring all the bread is soaked in the mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
Bake the strata, covered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the strata from the oven and let it stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
