To weigh down the assembled strata so the custard permeates the bread, fill two 1-quart zipper-lock bags with rice or sugar and lay them side by side over the plastic-covered surface. Serve the strata with hot sauce.
Ingredients
CORNBREAD
1 cup (5 ounces) cornmeal
1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 1/2 cups whole milk

Great brunch dish. You can prepare it the night before and let it sit in the fridge, unbaked, overnight, then bake in the morning. Just let it come to room temperature before baking, about 30 minutes.

Provided by Tufgrlz

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices of thick-cut bread
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (white cheddar or 3-cheese)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
6 large eggs
butter
pepper
oregano

Steps:

  • Butter 6 small ramekins. Butter one side of bread, and place a single slice with buttered side up in each ramekin. Generously pepper each slice of bread and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese. Beat milk with eggs and add oregano to taste. Pour over the cheese and bread in the ramekins. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning uncover and place in a cold oven. Set to 350 degrees and bake for 30-40 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from baking disk and serve immediately. Variations: instead of individual ramekins, arrange bread in a buttered 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Add diced ham or sausage, onion, green pepper, or mushrooms to taste. Place these ingredients on top of bread, but under cheese, prior to covering with egg mixture.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the pan.
  • Cook the eggs over medium-low heat to prevent them from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Stir the eggs constantly to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the eggs immediately with your favorite toast, bagel, or English muffin.
