INGREDIENTS

For the Strata

½ stick unsalted butter, softened

1 tbsp neutral oil

13 oz mushrooms of choice, sliced

2 tsp kosher salt, divided

10 slices white bread

8 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced

14 oz tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 yellow onion, sliced into rings

5 large eggs

3 cup whole milk

1 tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp garlic salt

DIRECTIONS

For the Strata (Adapted from Family Stone DVD Extras)

Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with an even coating of the softened butter.

½ stick unsalted butter, softened

Preheat the oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt. Sautee until crisp, about 7-8 minutes.

1 tbsp neutral oil

13 oz mushrooms of choice, sliced

1 tsp kosher salt, divided

Using the snowflake or star-shaped cookie cutter cutter, punch snowflakes or stars out of the white bread.

10 slices white bread

Cut the bread scraps into cubes and transfer them to the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Layer half the mozzarella slices over top the bread scraps. Then, add half the tomatoes slices, all of the onion rings, and all of the mushrooms over the cheese.

4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced

7 oz tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 yellow onion, sliced into rings

13 oz mushrooms of choice, sliced

Cover with the remaining mozzarella slices and then, add a layer of the bread snowflakes/stars. Finally, place one tomato slices in the center of each bread shape.

4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced

7 oz tomatoes, thinly sliced

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining salt, oregano, and garlic salt.

5 large eggs

3 cup whole milk

1 tsp kosher salt, divided

1 tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp garlic salt

Pour the egg mixture over the casserole, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over top, and decoratively place the black olives.

2 oz parmesan cheese, grated

½ cup black olive, drained + sliced

Cover the strata with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

10.

The next morning, preheat the oven to 325°F (or 300°F with convection).

11.

Uncover the strata and bake for 1 - 1 ½ hours or until the strata bounces back when poked and a knife comes out clean.

12.

Allow the strata to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
