  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 33 minute

Ingredients

– 8 slices of bread (preferably day-old or stale)
– 6 large eggs
– 2 cups milk
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
– 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Strata with Cheese, Bacon, Eggs & Tomatoes is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Bread: Cut the bread into small cubes and layer them in the bottom of the greased dish.
3. Cook Bacon: In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is tender. Add halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.
6. Layer Ingredients: Spread the sautéed vegetables and cooked bacon over the bread cubes. Then, pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the strata mixture.
8. Rest: Let the strata sit for about 15-30 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
