  • Cut the bread into cubes: Cutting the bread into cubes ensures that it cooks evenly.
  • Soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes: This allows the bread to absorb the flavors of the egg mixture.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as Gruyère, cheddar, and Parmesan, creates a more complex and flavorful strata.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers, add color, flavor, and nutrients to the strata.
  • Season the strata well: Season the strata with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and set: This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the strata cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This allows the strata to set and makes it easier to slice.
