Original Recipe Yield 9 servings

Ingredients

1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 small leeks, white portion only, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup beer
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray, layer half of the bread cubes, half of the leeks and half of the red pepper, 3/4 cup Swiss cheese and 3/4 cup cheddar cheese. Repeat layers once.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, beer, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over cheese. Cover with plastic wrap. Weigh strata down with a slightly smaller baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Remove strata from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until center is set and a thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
