Farmer's Strata

I make Strata often as a way to use up day old or stale bread (its hard for 2 people to finish a loaf of bread!)I've come up with a lot of variations but this one is my favorite. this can definitely be made ahead to serve for brunch or keep in the fridge ready to pop in the oven after Church.
