The strata was a little dry, but overall it was a good recipe. I think I'll try adding some more milk or cream next time.

This strata was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a milder chili.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of ham, and I added some chopped green peppers and onions.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The strata was fluffy and cheesy, and the chili and ham added a nice savory flavor.
