Provided by Sommer Collier

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large eggs
3 cups whole milk ((or half & half))
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese ((off the block))
1 1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese ((off the block))
1 cup chopped deli ham
1 cup chopped scallions
3/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 ounce loaf french bread

Steps:

  • Set out a large mixing bowl and a 9X13 inch (3 quart) baking dish. Grease the baking dish. Chop all necessary ingredients.
  • In the mixing bowl, add the eggs, milk, salt, ground mustard, and garlic powder. Whisk well to break up all the yolks. Then stir in the cheeses, ham, scallions, and roasted red pepper.
  • Tear the bread loaf into 1-2 inch chunks and place them in the baking dish.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the top of the bread. Use a spatula to fold the bread over, gently, to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and chill until ready to bake.
  • Let the strata recipe rest for at least one hour, so the bread soaks up all the eggs. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (This is a fabulous make-ahead overnight recipe, so you can also preheat the oven in the morning.)
  • Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden-brown and puffy in the center. Insert a sharp knife into the center to check that the eggs are set. If not, bake another 5-10 minutes. Then cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm!

LISA'S BREAKFAST STRATA



Lisa's Breakfast Strata image

My husband and I come from large families, many of whom do not live close by and often stay overnight. I came up with this Breakfast Strata when I had guests over Easter weekend. I served it with Easy Gooey Caramel Rolls and fresh fruit and it was most assuredly a hit! Everyone wanted recipes and my husband and daughters request it often. I just made the strata again this past weekend (had bread I needed to use up) and it's always such a treat. Quick Note: I like to split the recipe and put half in each of 2 8" square pyrex baking dishes. In one, I skip the cooked onions and use cheddar cheese, for those who prefer a milder flavor. In the other, I load up on the onions and use Pepper-Jack cheese (my favorite). The recipe is so versatile that every palate is satisfied; if you like peppers or olives, just throw it in, and if you prefer additional spice, add some Red Pepper Flakes. For my husband, who cannot tolerate spicy or hot foods and most vegetables, I keep things very simple, yet the flavor is still wonderful, and the recipe is easy to assemble, too! Everything gets prepared the evening before and refrigerated overnight, then popped in the oven in the morning; such minimal effort for a luscious and delightful breakfast to enjoy with friends.
