2 cups 2% milk
1 cup white wine or chicken broth
35 slices French bread (1/2 inch thick)
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked Gouda cheese
1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup prepared pesto
4 eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

In a shallow bowl, combine milk and wine. Dip both sides of bread in milk mixture; squeeze gently to remove excess liquid. Layer bread slices in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
Sprinkle with basil and parsley; drizzle with oil. Layer with half of the cheese, half of the prosciutto and all of the tomatoes; drizzle with half of the pesto. Top with remaining cheese, prosciutto and pesto.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper until blended; pour over top. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°. Remove strata from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
Yield: 10 servings.
