  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • If not cubed already, cut or tear your bread into bite sized pieces. Mix in a baking dish with the cheese and any other mix-ins you might like.
  • Mix eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  • Pour liquid mixture in with the bread and gently mix to ensure that each piece of bread is coated in the milky egg mixture.

  • Bake uncovered at 350F for ~30 minutes until top is browned, strata has puffed, and center is not jiggly. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil.
