Cook Time: 45 minPrep Time: 20 min
  

Ingredients:
6 large baked croissants
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
8 eggs
3 cups whole milk
2 cups half and half
dash white pepper
large pinch salt
opt: 1 cup ham, cut in small cubes
opt: 1 cup blanched broccoli

Instructions:
Prepare the night before serving:

Grease large casserole with grease of your choice, oil, butter or shortening
Tear croissants and place in casserole dish
sprinkle cheese, and ham and/or broccoli over cheese.

Beat eggs, add milk and half and half, salt and pepper.

Pour egg mixture over ingredients, making sure that it covers the ingredients, leaving approximately 1/2 inch of space at top as it will rise when baking.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.

Morning before serving:
Remove from refrigerator, remove plastic wrap. Place in center of cold oven, turn oven to Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour. Oven temperatures vary. Check to make sure that it does not overcook. Strata will be done when the top is dry, and it springs lightly to touch.

Notes:
Great recipe for brunch, or a light dinner. Variety of shredded cheeses, meats and vegetables can be substituted depending on your preferences. This recipe does well if you want to cut it for a smaller casserole for two, or doubled for a large crowd
