Our Best Ideas for Strata
What is strata, really, other than stuffing rebranded for breakfast time? But toss out of your mind all the labor and sweating of pulling a big holiday dinner together; everything about strata says easy, catering to the cook who will be serving it, probably still in her jammies, or maybe not having had coffee yet. These breakfast casseroles are a boon for anyone entertaining weekend guests, as you quite literally toss everything together sometime the day before and forget about it in your fridge, until you roll out of bed and bake it the next morning. Strata easily serves a crowd, and is kind of an all-in-one breakfast, needing no more than said coffee and maybe—maybe—a little fruit salad alongside. Have we sold you yet? Go ahead, grab the eggs and put one of these strata together now and then snuggle in under the comforter, ready to reap all the deliciousness tomorrow morning.
What better to augur the start of the day than to wake up to the aromas of this deeply satisfying strata? Bites of almost creamy, sweet-and-garlicky roasted squash tangle with kale and Gouda—and a little smoked paprika really plants a flag on the side of savory.
