How to Make Artichoke And Ham Strata

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Arrange 6 cups of cubed day-old bread (crusts removed), crust sides down, in the prepared baking dish.
3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the bread.
4. Arrange 1 cup of diced ham and 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts (drained and quartered) over the bread.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups of milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg.
6. Gradually add 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded Havarti cheese to the egg mixture; stir until combined.
7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham and artichoke layer.
8. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the strata is set and golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
10. Let the strata rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
