Strata for dinner

Strata's are delicious - breakfast, brunch, breakfast for dinner... This recipe is from my sister's mother-in-law, a lovely southern woman.
Brie and Ham Breakfast Casserole:

8 oz. Brie, rind trimmed (or other, like 2C shredded swiss)
2C cubed ham (thick cut/ham steak, or other, like breakfast sausage)
1C fresh grated Parmesan cheese
6-8 Italian bread slices
8 eggs
1 1/2C half and half
1 1/2C milk
1T chopped fresh sage (or 1tsp dried rubbed sage)
2tsp dry mustard

Cut crusts from bread slices and place evenly in bottom of lightly greased baking dish (13"x9").
Spread half of the ham cubes, brie cubes, and grated parmesan.
Layer bread slices, then layer the rest of the ham, brie, and parmesan.
Whisk together 6 eggs, 1C half and half, 1C milk, sage, salt, and mustard. Pour over bread/ham/cheeses. Cover and chill overnight of 8hrs in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 350F.
Whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2C half and half, and 1/2C milk. Pour evenly over chilled casserole.
Bake for 50min or until set.

Delicious! Enjoy!
