The brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce gave this a unique appealing flavor that I hoped it would. I added some chopped ham and about half of the cheese. You could easily add mushrooms, cooked sausage or a vegetable like broccoli. This will be my go-to egg strata from now on. Thanks Rita.

Super yummy! Each time we do christmas brunch this is a requested menu item. I add thinly sliced deli ham to the layers. It adds a nice subtle flavor that's sooo gooood!

This has become our traditional Christmas morning breakfast. I cook about 3/4 lb. of bacon, crumble/chop it and add it to the layers of bread and cheese. I also chop up an onion and add that to the liquid mixture. Delicious!!!

I made this for a brunch and it was a big hit. I've made several stratas before and this is one of my favorites (and I didn't change a thing). Everyone thought the flavor was great so I'm surprised by the people that gave it a low rating.

Makes a really great alternative to the typical 'egg and cheese' bakes/stratas. The seasonings are great, and there's great room for play with the recipe. I made it with egg substitute, and replaced the half-and-half with 2% milk, sprinkled in some chopped onions, and sprinkled some pre-cooked bacon (the kind you buy cooked) on top, and the bacon crisped up nicely while baking. Cooked uncovered, didn't require much more than 1hr, though I broiled it for a few minutes to crisp/brown up the cheese on top. Will DEFINITELY make again!

I made this Christmas morning and being that it was the first strata I ever made I was pleased with the results. I thought it turned out beautiful and with great flavor. My husband had a problem with the texture but I thought it even tasted good cold. Kudos to the chef, dont think I'll ever try another strata recipe!

I'm giving this a 4 star becasue I did make a couple minor changes...I cube the bread and simply layer breadcubes, cheeses, and egg mixture. I also added cubed ham to the dish and left out the paprika & cayenne papper. FABULOUS recipe - almost identical to one my family has been making for years!

This was excellent! Made it for a holiday brunch and it was a hit! Although it has a lot of cheese, the cheese is not overwhelming. I suggest pressing down the strata with a spatula after you assemble it to make sure all the egg/milk/spices etc are absorbed by the bread. Thanks for this recipe!

This was delicious and a hit with my overnight guests on Christmas. I added sausage (browned bulk) as others did. The only modifications I would make next time are 1) use a slightly larger dish than 9x13 (grease overflowed a little when baking, making a mess in my oven) 2) use a bit less cheese (unless you're omitting sausage/meat). Forgot to mention that I omitted brown sugar since it called for so little.
