Ham and Cheese Strata $6.67



This is a great egg dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The prep time is quick and it can be made well in advance and refrigerated, until ready to cook. What I like about it, is it is flexible in terms of what I can put in it. This recipe is loaded with many good and good for you ingredients, but if undesired or simply not on hand, mushrooms, tomatoes or ham can be ommited, or all three. I, ofcourse like them in the recipe because mushroms provide that oh so important, and not always easy to find vitamin D, and canned tomatoes are clearly one of the healthiest foods one can consume, but not the less, eggs, milk and cheese are a necessity for this recipe, as is bread(and ofcourse we only use wholewheat), so there is lots of nutrients with those ingredients alone. My camera ran out of battery, and I only managed to snap one pic, even though I wanted to get a picture of an individual piece, Ill have to make it again....
