Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 4 slices of bread, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen mixed berries, thawed and drained

Directions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Turn off the heat, add the honey, and stir to combine.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the eggs, ricotta, and sugar. Using a fork, mix to combine and beat the eggs. Add the milk, orange juice, butter and honey mixture, and bread. Stir to combine. Gently fold in the berries.

Place the ingredients in a 10-inch round (2-quart) baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata until golden on top and baked through, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into dishes and serve.

    Sugar and Spice needed

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    IF you sweeten this recipe up a bit it is definitely a "keeper" for summery version of bread pudding. Add 1/3 cup instead of... 1/4 cup sugar, and add an extra Tablespoon of honey (or you can also use pancake syrup which worked perfectly), add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. I also enriched with extra Tablespoon of butter and extra 1/4 cup ricotta, and the result was very good.. Like another reviewer I added a few more berries (raspberries and blueberries) which gave better proportion and visual appeal to the dish. IF you like bread pudding, you will like this recipe with these changes.Read more

    Gluten Free

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Due to my wife's gluten allergy we used gluten free bread - 5 slices as they were smaller than standard bread. As the gluten... free bread is denser it did not soak-up the liquid completely. Try reducing the liquid mixture or adding even more bread.Read more

    Pretty Good!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This recipe was perfect for some day old bread that I had and wasn't sure what to do with. Next time I think I will add some... more berries--I think some others suggested that as well. It was great for dessert and breakfast. My 15 month old daughter loved it as well!Read more

    Tasty

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This was very good! I wish I would have read the reviews before I made it, though. As some have commented, it could be a tad... sweeter. I served this with coolwhip on top and it was pretty good. I bet it would be as good with some vanilla ice cream. Next time, I will use a bit more sweetener and a touch of vanilla. Also, I baked it for an hour at 325 degrees and it was just nicely golden brown on top but still moist inside. I will definately make this again, soon!Read more
