Tips for the Best Strata

To achieve the best texture for your strata, consider using bread that is a day or two old. Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, ensuring that every bite is rich and flavorful. If you're in a pinch, you can also toast fresh bread cubes in the oven for a few minutes to dry them out slightly before adding them to the mixture.

Don't hesitate to experiment with different cheeses! While cheddar and mozzarella are classic choices, you can try adding feta for a tangy twist or Gruyère for a nutty flavor. Additionally, feel free to add other ingredients like cooked bacon or sun-dried tomatoes to personalize your strata further.

2 cups milk
