When our family sits down for breakfast on days when this do-ahead dish is on the menu, I can relax and join them. I like to serve it with fresh fruit and homemade rolls. Plus, it adds a nice touch to a celebration brunch.

This strata was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a 9x13 inch baking dish and it was the perfect size.
