Cheese-Green Chili Strata image

This was in the food section of our local newspaper. It sounds like a nice breakfast or brunch dish. It has all kinds of possibilities, too, like changing the type of cheese, bread, and meat. This is a make ahead dish, great for when you have overnight company. Time to make doesn't reflect overnight refrigeration. Let me know what you think!
