Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion diced
12 oz frozen broccoli thawed
1 14 oz loaf French bread cut into cubes
1/2 lb fully cooked ham chopped
6 large eggs lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F. Coat a 2 to 3-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes. Add broccoli and cook another 3 minutes.
Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Stir in broccoli-onion mixture and the ham.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chives, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over bread mixture, stirring to mix. Transfer to prepared dish, and top evenly with cheese.
Bake at 375° for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center of the strata is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the strata cool for a few minutes before serving.

You can also assemble this casserole the night before, then bake it the next morning. Let it sit out at room temperature before transferring it to the oven.
