Why you'll love this recipe   

✔️ This strata is the laziest of lazy breakfasts.

✔️ While you're sipping your wine the night before, chop up a loaf of French bread, mix up some eggs and assorted dairy, then add some extras. Toss it together. Throw it in a casserole dish. Cover it and put it in the fridge overnight.

✔️ When you get up the next morning, bed head and all, you can bake it off and enjoy it!

FAQ's

What does strata mean in cooking?

A strata is simply a layered casserole.

How long can strata soak?

The bread in the strata should soak for 8-12 hours.

Do you have to refrigerate strata overnight?

If you're soaking the bread overnight it should be refrigerated.

Things to know

The raspberries and hint of orange are just the right amount of pop for a Saturday morning.

The center is creamy and like a custard while the top of the strata is crunchy. It's by far one of the best things I've made!

Variations

Substitute blackberries or blueberries, yum! You can even use frozen berries, just allow them to thaw first and drain well.

Chopped walnuts, hazelnuts or macadamia nuts are fabulous in this recipe!

Storage

Refrigerate - allow leftovers to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container.

Reheat - Reheat in the microwave or bake for 20 minutes or so until the casserole is warmed.
