Cheese Strata with Ham and Tomatoes From Food Network Kitchens
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
12 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup diced baked ham
1 cup Oven-Dried Tomatoes, chopped, recipe follows
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh chives
2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
1 pound sourdough bread (boule preferred), crust removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
Grease a 3-quart gratin dish or casserole with 1 teaspoon of the butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, toss together the ham, tomatoes, parsley, and chives.
To make the strata: Scatter a 1/2 cup of the cheese over the bottom of the buttered dish, cover with one-third of the bread, and then half of the tomato mixture. Repeat. Top with a final layer of bread and remaining cheese.
Pour the egg mixture over the strata and gently press it down with the back of a large spoon to make sure the top layer is moistened with the custard. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and drizzle it over the strata. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until golden brown and slightly puffed, about 45 to 55 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

maybe you could layer fried potatoes, bell peppers, onions, cubed ham, then pour beaten eggs over the top and bake until the eggs are done.
This is super simple, but my family loves it.
I take one box of Betty Crockers Julliened potatoes, mix as directed and add one half pound of cooked, crumpled, bacon before placing it in the oven. Sometimes I add some cheese, but usually I just throw some corn flake crumbs on top and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
sorry but never heard of breakfast casserole, not in the UK.
This casserole is absolutely delicious. Sometimes I fix the
hashbrowns by themselves as a side dish for supper.
