We had a St. Patrick's Day potluck at work and I was told to bring a breakfast food in. Yes, told. Not asked.
My friend, Linds, sent me a recipe for a strata. I knew what they were, but I have never made one before. I thought it was delicious! It's so easy and you can do a million different things with it. Just make the basic strata and then add whatever you want to it. For work, I made bacon and cheddar. Just make sure that if you have any sort of meat, you cook it beforehand.
Basic Strata recipe:
Cut bread into 1/2 inch chunks. You may also slice it-personal preference. You can also choose whatever kind of bread you would like. I used french bread.
Spray Pam in a 9x13 pan. Layer bread on the bottom. Next, layer the filling of your choice. Layer bread again.
Whisk 6 eggs and 4 cups of heavy cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over bread.
Bake at 350 for 45-1 hour, until golden.
