    Growing up my mother always made this recipe for special occasions and holiday morning breakfasts.  I have such warm and good memories of eating this on Christmas morning with all of us crowded around the dining room table.

    It is very easy to make and doesn’t take long at all to bake.  It will make your guests think you slaved away in the kitchen!

    This Easy Cheese Strata has all of the ingredients that make breakfast so good all in one dish!

     

    You begin by toasting whatever bread you have on hand.  We have used many different kinds of bread over the years and they are all delicious! You will arrange the bread in the bottom of the casserole dish.  Make sure the entire bottom is covered.

    We usually use ham in this recipe.  Like the toast, we have used different types of breakfast meats over the years.  We have tried ham, sausage, and bacon. It is so good with any meat you choose!

    You layer the meat and cheese over the toast in the dish.

    I think that the egg mixture is what makes this dish special.  The mixture contains eggs, milk and some spices which add an interesting and subtle flavor!  The recipe calls for dried mustard and a pinch of nutmeg! When you add salt and pepper the mixture is ready to be poured in your casserole dish.

    This casserole takes 30 minutes or less to bake to a golden brown.
