Feed a large group on Easter morning with this delicious casserole of eggs, bread, mozzarella cheese, and tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted plus more for greasing pan
- 6 large slices of sturdy bread (about 1/2-inch thick)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped

- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Cooking Instructions
- Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Line the bottom of the dish with about 3 slices of bread. You will need to cut some slices to make sure the bottom is entirely covered. Spread half of the sun dried tomatoes and all of the basil on top of the bread. Sprinkle half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining pieces of bread, sun dried tomatoes and cheese.
- In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the bread layers. Gently press down bread to insure that bread is fully submerged. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or even better overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake strata until golden and bubbly, about an hour. Allow dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Substitution(s)
For a Provencal twist, use olive tapenade instead of the sun dried tomatoes.
