Ingredients:

Serving

12 large eggs
11/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup diced baked ham
1 cup oven-dried tomatoes, chopped , recipe follows
1 tbsp minced flat-leaf parsley
2 tsp thinly sliced fresh chives
2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 oz)
1 lb sourdough bread, crust trimmed, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 lb ripe plum tomatoes, cored and cut in half lengthwise
1 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 sprigs fresh herbs , such as thyme , rosemary , oregano , or marjoram

Directions:

1. Butter a 3-quart gratin dish or casserole. Whisk eggs, milk, cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Toss ham, tomatoes, parsley, and chives together in a small bowl.
2. Scatter 1/2 cup of cheese into prepared dish. Layer with 1/3 of bread and half of ham mixture. Repeat. Top strata with a final layer of bread and remaining 1 cup cheese.
3. Pour egg mixture over top of dish and gently press to make moistened all bread layers. Drizzle with melted butter, cover strata with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight.
4. Preheat to 350degreesF. Bake strata, on middle oven rack, uncovered, until slightly puffed and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
1. Preheat oven to 250F.
2. Arrange tomatoes, cut side up, in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake until slightly shriveled but still plump, about 5 hours.
3. If not using immediately, refrigerate dried tomatoes, covered, up to 4 days. Or, if desired, layer tomatoes with herb sprigs and add olive oil. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
