INSTRUCTIONS
Spray an 8-inch baking dish (1½-2 qt) with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the cubed bread in the bottom of the dish.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add diced onion, salt, black pepper and sugar. Sauté until onions are lightly caramelized, approximately 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the onion.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, dry mustard, nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper.
Spread the ham over the bread cubes, then spread the onion mixture on top of the ham. Layer on the Gruyere or Swiss cheese then pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
Press down gently on the top to ensure all bread cubes get soaked with the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Before baking, warm the casserole on the counter for 15 minutes and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake, uncovered, 40-50 minutes or until center is set and edges are bubbly and top begins to brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
If casserole is browning too soon, loosely cover it with foil near the end of the cooking time.
The casserole is delicious served any meal.
Enjoy!

------------------------------
INGREDIENTS
- 1 whole delicata squash (approximately 1 lb)
- 1 lb bacon
- 2 tbsp bacon oil
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 1 bunch (approx. 11 oz) Swiss chard, leaves removed from stems, stems diced, and leaves chopped
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 9 large eggs
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 8 cups 1/2-inch cubed challah bread (about 11 oz)
- 4 oz shredded Gouda
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Remove the stem and slice the delicata squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pith. Slice each half into ¼-inch slices and lay on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Roast in the preheated oven until golden and tender, 18-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the squash is roasting, cook the bacon in a large skillet in two batches until browned and crisp. Remove all the bacon oil and add 2 tbsp back to the skillet. With the skillet over medium heat, add the onion and Swiss chard stems with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper and sauté until the onion is translucent and the Swiss chard stems are tender, 4-6 minutes. Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves and sauté until wilted, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
In a large bowl, combine the milk, cream, and eggs. Whisk to combine and break up the eggs. Add the pepper, salt, mustard, and nutmeg. Whisk and set aside.
In a 9×13 baking dish, arrange the cubed bread with the prepared squash, bacon, Swiss chard mixture, and cheese. Evenly distribute all the components and pour the custard over the top slowly to make sure each cube of bread receives some custard. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the strata in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden and the casserole is puffed and just slightly jiggly in the center, 50-75 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
