How to Make Ham And Apple Brunch Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. Slice crusts from 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of day-old bread. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place in the prepared baking pan.
  3. Layer half of the cooked ham (about 8 ounces, diced) and half of the shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces) evenly over the bread cubes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the ham and cheese layer.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the apple layer.
  8. Layer the remaining ham and cheese on top.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for 60-70 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the strata is puffed and golden brown in the center. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
