Italian-Style Strata Brunch Casserole

"Plan ahead the casserole needs to chill for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours before baking, which makes this a perfect casserole to serve as a weekend brunch for family or guests as you can prepare a day ahead. You can also use cooked Italian sausage meat in place of the ham."
