Ingredients

Scale

Brioche Bread

  • 1 loaf brioche bread, cut into cubes

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh or sautéed vegetables (such as spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms)

Herbs & Spices

  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Begin by cutting the brioche bread into cubes. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and let them dry out slightly for about 30 minutes. This will help achieve that perfect texture in your strata.
  2. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well combined so that each bite is deliciously seasoned.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: In a greased baking dish, create layers with the brioche cubes, followed by your choice of vegetables, cheese, and any additional ingredients. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top and gently press down to ensure everything is soaked.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover your baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the bread to fully absorb the egg mixture, creating a luscious texture.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the strata from the fridge and, if desired, sprinkle additional cheese on top. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown and set in the middle.

Notes

  • Use stale bread for better absorption of the egg mixture.
  • Don’t overmix the ingredients to keep the bread pieces intact.
  • Choose quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Let the strata rest before slicing for better texture.
  • Experiment with different flavors and herbs.
