Golden Onion Strata With Gruyere & Prosciutto image

I made this several years back as a side dish for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. The recipe comes from Cooking Light's 2001 Annual Recipes. I think bacon could easily be substituted for the proscuitto too. Prep time does not reflect the time for sauteeing the onions and proscuitto or the chilling time.
