Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 c milk
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 c maple syrup
1 large loaf of cinnamon swirl or cinnamon raisin swirl bread, buttered, crusts removed

  • 3. Place a layer of buttered bread in the bottom of prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cream cheese. Repeat with another layer of bread. The shape of your pan decides how many layers you will make.
  • 4. Slowly pour egg mixture over top and sprinkle with remaining cream cheese cubes. Let stand one hour or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
  • 5. Set baking sheet on lowest rack of over to catch any drippings. Bake strata, uncovered, on middle shelf until top is nicely browned and bubbly. About 1 hour.
  • 6. Serve with warm maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best possible outcome. This means using real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality cinnamon and raisins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the strata tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the strata rest before baking. This allows the bread to absorb the custard and results in a more even bake.
  • Bake the strata in a water bath. This helps to prevent the strata from drying out and keeps it moist.
  • Serve the strata warm. Strata is best served warm, but it can also be served cold or at room temperature.

Cinnamon raisin strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy mornings. With its sweet and cinnamony flavor, this strata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
