From Betty Crocker I think. Could also use ciabatta bread, or whatever bread like that you might have on hand. Could also play around with whatever cheese you have on hand. Time listed does NOT include sitting time in fridge.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread: This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a bread that is sturdy and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the strata tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the strata rest before baking: This will allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture and will help to prevent the strata from being dry.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the strata is cooked through.
  • Serve the strata warm: This is when it is at its best. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it in the oven.
