Golden Onion Strata with Gruyère and Prosciutto
Becky Luigart-Stayner
We love the flavor and layered look of this strata, with paper-thin prosciutto providing a mere but welcome hint of salt. It's a perfect make-ahead dish for brunch.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and prosciutto, and sauté 5 minutes or until onion begins to brown. Add water; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer 30 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Cool.
Step 2
Combine the milk, mustard, pepper, and egg substitute in a large bowl, and stir with a whisk until mixture is well-blended. Stir in the onion mixture. Add bread, tossing gently to coat.
Step 3
Arrange half of the bread mixture in a single layer in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese, and top with remaining bread mixture. Cover strata, and chill 8 hours or overnight.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 5
Uncover strata. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese; bake an additional 20 minutes or until set.

This recipe completely destroyed the prosciutto. The recipe calls to add the prosciutto and then continue to cook it with the onions for half an hour - cooking the prosciutto through and making it a gummy gray mess! If you're going to make this I would suggest mixing the prosciutto in right before baking it so it maintains it's color and some it's consistency.

This was excellent - made it as a side for Easter dinner and it was a big hit with all. Pricey though! The dish cost around $15 because of the gruyere and prosciutto. I worried the onion flavor would be overpowering, but it was just right - similar to French onion soup.

Used for Christmas Brunch and it was a huge hit, I combined swiss and the Gruyere for an interesting texture. What a hit!
