While the mixture sits overnight, it soaks up the egg mixture and is ready to be baked in the morning. A great meal for a lazy morning or when you have guests!

What is a Strata?

A strata is a super-easy-to-make breakfast almost like a savory bread pudding (and truly, it’s great any time of day!). Bread is cubed and tossed with flavorful ingredients (in this case brie and mushrooms). It’s tossed with egg/milk mixture and sits overnight. As it sits, the bread soaks in the mixture and in the morning it is baked until puffy and set. Best of all, you can use this base to use up any ingredients you have on hand from leftover taco meat to roasted asparagus.

Frittata vs. Strata

A frittata and a strata are both essentially breakfast casseroles. A strata has a more soufflé-like appearance while a frittata is more similar to a baked omelet. A strata often includes bread cubes while fritattas can have potatoes or even pasta along with the add-ins.
