Ham and Cheese Strata

Cut off all bread crusts. Slice and butter BOTH sides of bread and lay into 9x13 baking dish.

Layer 1 1/2 cups of cheese on bread, saving a 1/2 cup to add on top, 45 minutes into baking.

Layer in the ham and green onions over the bread and cheese in the pan. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture evenly on top.

Cover and chill over night.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and bake covered for about 45 minutes. Remove cover, add cheese to top, and cook for 15 more minutes.
