Prosciutto Feta Cheese Strata

A lovely Greek-style breakfast, lunch or brunch dish from the Rockledge Inn in Colorado. While it is very easy to prepare, it does need to be assembled the night before, refrigerated overnight and then allowed to sit at room temperature before baking for an hour, so prep time includes 8 hours in the fridge and half an hour sitting time.
