8 ounces sourdough bread cut into ¾-inch cubes (about 6 cups) (I used a whole grain bread, but any version will work)
Cooking spray
8 ounces diced cooked ham can substitute with an equal amount of cooked bacon or sausage if preferred
1 cup milk I used 2% milk, but whole milk would also work. Just don’t use skim!
1/3 cup thinly-sliced green onions
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
6 large eggs lightly beaten
2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded (about ½ cup)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange bread on a baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, or until toasted, stirring halfway through.
Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk and next 6 ingredients (through eggs).
In bottom of prepared baking dish, toss together toasted bread and diced ham. Pour egg mixture over top. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, or until strata is puffed around the edges and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Note: This casserole can be made in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator overnight until ready to bake.
