Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb loaf unsliced french bread
1 8oz pkg cream cheese, cubed
8 eggs
2 1/2 C milk, light cream, or half and half

Steps:

  • Cut French bread into cubes. Grease a 13x9x2 baking dish. Place 1/2 C of bread in baking dish. Tope with cream cheese. Then remaining bread cubes. Mix eggs, milk, melted butter, maple syrup until combined. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread and cheese cubes. Press slightly with spatula to moisten. Cover, refridgerate for 2-24 hours. Bake 35-40 minutes at 325.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread for the best results. Stale bread will not absorb the custard mixture as well and will result in a soggy strata.
  • If you don't have a loaf of French bread, you can use slices of bread, just be sure to trim off the crusts.
  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more flavorful strata. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
  • Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to your strata, such as cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the strata cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Stuffed French toast strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time. With its combination of bread, custard, cheese, and other fillings, strata is a hearty and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
