Ham, Cheese and Vegetable Strata

This is a recipe that I have made many many times and it is always a crowd pleaser. If you have friends or family coming over for drinks and an easy supper (even if we are still relegated to the garden) this will please everyone.  Add a salad with a simple French dressing and you have a meal fit for a king.

A crisp, dry white wine (I like a few ice cubes in mine) will complete the scene. So sit back, pour a glass of wine, serve your guests this amazing recipe and ….. relax and ….. enjoy!
