  • Don't be afraid to add your own personal touch to the strata. You can add different cheeses, vegetables, or even meats to suit your taste.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-sliced rye bread and deli Reuben sandwiches to make the strata. Just be sure to chop the sandwiches into small pieces before adding them to the casserole dish.
  • The strata can be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. This makes it a great option for a brunch or potluck.
  • Be sure to let the strata rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Reuben and rye strata is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover Reuben sandwiches, and it's also a great dish to make for a crowd.
