How to Make Strata | Ham, Asparagus & Gruyere Strata Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place them in the baking dish.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped asparagus and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced ham and cook for another 2 minutes.

Spread the ham and asparagus mixture evenly over the bread cubes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and thyme.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread and vegetable mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Sprinkle grated gruyere cheese on top.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and set.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
