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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Arrange half of the cubed French bread in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring all the bread is soaked in the mixture.

Step 6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the strata from the oven and let it stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
