Ingredients:

Serving

1 quart half-and-half
12 eggs
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
12 -14 slices fluffy white bread, such as wonder bread
12 oz extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup thin- sliced scallion (about 3 medium)

Directions:

Whisk half and half, eggs, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
Spray a 13-by 9-inch Pyrex or ceramic baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Line pan bottom with 6 slices of bread, fitting in additional bread, cut into strips, to form a tight fit, which keeps the strata from puffing dramatically, and then sprinkle with half the scallions and cheese. Pour 1 cup of egg mixture over the topped bread. Make another layer with remaining bread –-adding extra strips of bread if necessary–scallions and cheese. Slowly pour remaining egg mixture over bread. Cover with plastic wrap, then weight the casserole with 3 one-pound cans for at least 15 minutes.
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Bake until custard is just set, about 50 minutes. Without adjusting oven rack, turn on broiler; broil until strata is spotty brown and puffy, about 5 minutes longer.
Remove from oven, let stand for 8 to 10 minutes, and then serve immediately.
