I like to use butter, but you can use a non-stick spray as well. Oh, and did I mention it’s a delicious way to use up leftovers? I mean what’s not to love about that? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE HAM & CHEESE BREAKFAST STRATA?įirst, you’ll need to prep your baking dish. #3 It can be made ahead of time which saves YOU the cook SOOO much time and stress! There are a LOT of reasons why this breakfast/brunch dish should be on your menu this holiday season or any day for that matter. It’s a breakfast casserole made with bread. So if you’re not familiar with what a Strata is, here’s the short answer. One of my favorite dishes is the recipe I’m sharing with you all today. So one of the ways I try and use up all that yummy pork is by using it in a dish for Christmas day brunch. We usually enjoy a spiral ham on Christmas eve, and inevitably we always have leftovers. Whether on Christmas Eve, Christmas day, or even New Years’ eve or day. Now if your family is like ours, you will probably enjoy a delicious ham sometime during the holidays. I’ve been busy planning each of the menus and I’ll be doing the shopping for them later this week. We have already hosted two small gatherings with friends and family, but we still have a couple more in the next two weeks. I still can’t believe that Christmas is only 11 days away!!! Ham & Cheese Breakfast Strata a quick and easy make-ahead egg dish using holiday leftovers!
