Ham & Cheese Strata
Arrange 6 slices of white bread (crusts cut off) in the bottom of a greased 13X9 in. baking dish. Top with 1/2 pound cooked diced ham (I ask the deli to cut a 1/4 inch slice of Virginia baked ham for me when I don't have ham leftovers to use) and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Cover with 6 more slices of white bread (crust cut off). In a bowl mix 6 eggs, 3 cups of milk, 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp. ground mustard, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper and a dash of cayenne. (Add 1/4 cup minced onion and 1/4 cup minced green pepper if you like). Pour this over the ingredients in the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with 1 cup crushed cornflakes and drizzle with 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake for 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees.
