Gruyere Prosciutto Strata Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Add onion & proscuitto, and saute 5 minutes or until onion begins to brown.
• Add water; cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer 30 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Cool.
• Combine milk, mustard, pepper, and egg substitute in a large bowl and stir with a whisk until mixture is well blended.
• Stir in onion mixture. Add bread, tossing gently to coat.
• Arrange half of bread mixture in a single layer in an 11x7" baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese and top with remaining bread mixture.
• Cover strata and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Uncover strata and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese; bake an additional 20 minutes or until set.

Steps:

• Put the grits in a large bowl, fill with water and stir. Let the grits stand for about 5 minutes for the bran to rise to the surface; pour off the bran and excess water and set aside.
• Bring the stock and half-and-half to a boil, over high heat, in a medium heavy-bottomed pan and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until thick and creamy, about 45 minutes. If the grits get too thick, stir in additional hot stock or water to loosen and thin.
• Add the Gruyere and the bacon drippings, if using, and stir until the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
