Prepare and refrigerate this cheese Strata several hours ahead of time or overnight. For breakfast, simply add bacon, sausage, or ham to the cheese strata, then pop it in the oven when you wake up, pour some coffee, and sit down to an all-in-one meal. The red pepper (cayenne) gives the strata a Bite that gets your heart started! I always add something extra because I do like the Bite (Louisiana Hot Sauce)!! Ingredients:
10 slices white bread, cubed |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
3 eggs |
2 cups milk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
celery leaves |
Directions:
1. Toss together bread cubes and melted butter. Place half in a lightly greased 12 x 8 x 2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle half of cheese over bread cubes. Repeat procedure with remaining bread cubes and cheese.
2. Combine remaining ingredients except celery leaves; beat well. Pour over cheese layers. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
3. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 40 minutes.
4. Garnish with celery leaves; serve warm.
