Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
- For a richer strata, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Feel free to add other fruits to the strata, such as berries, bananas, or apples.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10-inch round or square baking dish.
- The strata can be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. In the morning, simply remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before baking.
- Serve the strata warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
