There didn't seem to be enough milk because it just tasted like damp bread rather than the normal casserole consistancy. I wonder if it's because sourdough is so crisp and has so much crust that maybe it is very dependent on the type of loaf you choose. Sounded alot better than it tasted. Would not make again.
Bacon, Gruyère, and Ham Strata
This casserole is easy to prepare, especially if you purchase diced ham from your supermarket. Gruyère is a type of Swiss cheese. Its sweet nuttiness enhances this dish, though you can substitute Edam, Gouda, or even cheddar cheese.
