INGREDIENTS:
 

                      2 cups whole milk
                      1/4 cup olive oil
                      8 cups 1-inch cubes sourdough bread, crusts trimmed

                      1 1/2 cups whipping cream
                      5 large eggs
                      1 tablespoon chopped garlic
                      1 1/2 teaspoons salt
                      3/4 teaspoon black pepper
                      1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
                      12 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled (about 3 cups)
                      2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
                      1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
                      1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence

                      12 ounces smoked ham, chopped
                      3 6 1/2-ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained, halved lengthwise (about 2 1/2
                      cups)
                      1 cup (packed) grated Fontina cheese
                      1 1/2 cups (packed) grated Parmesan 

                      Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk milk and oil in
                      large bowl. Stir in bread. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.

                      Whisk cream and next 5 ingredients in another large bowl to blend. Add goat cheese. Mix
                      herbs in small bowl to blend.

                      Place half of bread mixture in prepared dish. Top with half of ham, artichoke hearts,
                      herbs and cheeses. Pour half of cream mixture over. Repeat layering with remaining
                      bread, ham, artichoke hearts, herbs, cheeses and cream mixture. (Can be made 1 day
                      ahead. Cover; chill.)

                      Bake uncovered until firm in center and brown around edges, about 1 hour. 

                      Serves 8.
