 Strata is a baked dish filled with eggs and bread with a custard-like base. And because this recipe uses pillowy, soft challah as the bread filling, it's super-rich and hearty. "Consider halving the serving and pairing this Overnight Ham Breakfast Strata with a green salad," Gorin says.

If you don’t eat ham, swap it for turkey or chicken breast.
