½ lb. cream cheese, cut into small cubes

Directions:
Lightly grease a deep 9" to 10" baking dish.
Slice the bread about ½" thick. Arrange 2 to 3 equal alternating layers of the bread, cheeses, pesto, prosciutto, and tomatoes in the baking dish. Cut or tear bread slices if needed to make snug layers. Whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over the bread layers. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Remove the strata from the fridge about 20 to 30 minutes before you plan to bake it. Preheat oven to 350º. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until puffed, golden brown and lightly set in the center. Serve hot.
