HOW TO MAKE A STRATA
Steps:
- Grease a 9x13 pan. Chop bacon into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Cook until crispy. Set aside on paper towels and pat to remove excess grease. Pour all but a couple of tablespoons of the bacon grease out of the pan. Cook shallots in remaining fat until softened. Set aside. Whisk eggs for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in milk, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir in reserved bacon, shallots, cheese, and parsley. Fold in the torn bread. Pour into the prepared pan and cover with foil. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, up to 24. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bake strata for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until golden, puffed, and set in the center. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (The strata will deflate as is rests.) Scoop portions with a large spoon rather than trying to cut into squares.

Steps:
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Put the bacon in a large cold skillet then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings. Increase the heat to medium high, add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk the half-and-half, Parmesan and eggs together in a bowl with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, followed by the bacon, kale and sundried tomatoes. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the custard evenly over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
- On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake until slightly puffed and just no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt.
- Add the bread and toss so that all of the bread is saturated with liquid.
- Refrigerate the mixture and let it sit for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Take the egg and bread mixture out of the fridge and add the tomatoes, chickpeas, basil, and goat cheese to the mixing bowl. Toss everything together to thoroughly combine.
- When you're ready to bake the strata, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom and at least an inch (2 cm) up the sides.
- Pour the combined ingredients into the skillet, then use a spatula to spread everything evenly over the skillet, pressing the bread into a flat, even layer.
- Bake the strata in the preheated oven until the eggs are completely set and the edges are golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Take the strata out of the oven and let it sit in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
- Flip the cooled strata out of the pan and onto a cutting board, then slice it into four portions.
- Eat immediately, or let the strata cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Note: To reheat the strata: Microwave for 1 minute on high, or reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5 minutes, just to heat through.
- Enjoy!

BACON MUSHROOM TOMATO & CHEESE STRATA - BRUNCH CASSEROLE
This was served at my sister-in-laws baby shower along with a wonderful salad with balsamic dressing and seasonal fruits. It was so elegant. I had to ask for the recipe it was so delicious! My mother-in-law asked her friend for the recipe and here it is! I couldn't believe how easy it is to make. This is great when you have company staying over and you don't want to be in the kitchen first thing in the morning cooking. You put this together in the evening the night before. Try changing the cheese and toppings with your favorites! Very versatile dish! Enjoy.
