Servings

It's festive to have your own individual strata, but if you prefer, you can also make this cheesy egg dish in a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate or 6-cup casserole. Just mix it up the night before and pop it in the oven while everyone is opening gifts

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 (4- by 1/2-inch-thick) slices Italian bread, torn into pieces (2 cups packed)
• 5 ounce piece cooked ham, coarsely chopped (scant cup)
• 3 ounce piece sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (1 cup)
• 2 scallions, finely chopped

Directions

• Beat eggs with milk and pepper until combined in a medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and let sit overnight, chilled.
• Preheat oven to 350F with rack in middle of oven.
• Butter a 6-cup standard muffin tin, preferably nonstick. Divide mixture among cups and bake until puffed and lightly golden, about 35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and serve.`
