Go to the Food Network...Elsie Krieger..or just put strata in the search and look for her...she does healthy food and has a strata made with whole wheat bread ,brocolli,and cheese...lo-fat milk...it's killer!!.nutty tasting,made it for a party, it's a winner...
At least three cheeses,and try putting fresh tomato and sweet onion in before grilling..and being from the south mayo as always...
Rachel Ray made one on her talk show recently. It calls for deli ham, but I'd leave that out.

How about an Asparagus Strata?
Ingredients
12 slices white bread
12 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, diced
1 1/2 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 C. diced cooked ham
6 eggs
3 C. milk
2 Tbs. minced onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
Directions
Using a doughnut cutter, cut 12 circles and holes from bread; set aside. Tear remaining bread in pieces and place in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Layer cheese, asparagus and ham over torn bread; arrange bread circles and holes on top. Lightly beat eggs with milk. Add onion, salt and mustard; mix well. Pour egg mixture over bread circles and holes. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 55 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Yield: 6-8 servings

Chew on That
Purists don't look, but when I was little my favorite was a "pizza grilled cheese" sandwich: marinara sauce and mozzarella on Jewish rye, buttered and fried. It might not be a "real" grilled cheese, but it comes darn close to my favorite comfort sandwich.
