Any-Kind-Of-Strata Recipe

I picked this recipe for a bridesmaids luncheon. It was easy to prepare, beautiful when cooked, and delicious. I have now used it for luncheons for over 40 people and everytime it people want the recipe. The ham sauce is excellent over the strata but a little salty and the strata is delicious on it's ouw. I have also served it with fresh red salsa and green salsa. Wonderful!

I took the sausage version of this to my morning Bible Study group and had 4 requests for the recipe! Excellent, and very easy.

I made the chicken version for friends and family for Xmas breakfast. It was a big hit!

I made the spinach version, and added 1/2 a medium onion to the sauteed veggies. Very yummy. I'll make it again.

I love this recipe. I've used it for Christmas morning, and many brunches. It is versatile and being able to adjust the quantities is great. I've done a greek version with red & green peppers (sweet), onions and feta cheese, and bbq veg version.

I was never terribly fond of strata, having had it at a hospital where I worked. It was too mushy. This was GREAT! I mixed ALL the wet ingredients together and ladeled it on top of the cubed bread. I poked down the cubes that stuck up. I made 1/2 the recipe and filled 4 individual "boats." I used my GE Advantium oven. It only took 30 minutes! My husband and I enjoyed it, as well as my guests this morning! I will make it again! Putting it in the boats in this oven cut the bake time substantially!
