This morning I was going to a lovely brunch and each guest had been asked to bring a favorite dish to share. I LOVE breakfast casseroles so I offered to bring one. I has planned on making Paula Dean's, but after doing some searching online I went with a Two Cheese Strata from Martha and it did not disappoint. This recipe was easy and delicious!
What you need:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, softened, for baking dish
8 slices white bread
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
4 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 slices white bread
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
4 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions:
*Butter an 8-inch square baking dish (I actually used a larger pan and just added an extra egg and more milk which worked perfectly); line bottom with 4 slices bread. Sprinkle with half of each cheese. Top with chives. Layer with remaining bread and cheese.
*Whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into baking dish. Cover; refrigerate at least 6 hours (or overnight).
*Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake strata until puffed and golden, about an hour. Let stand 10 minutes before serving (I lightly sprinkled additional cayenne pepper on top before serving to add a little more flavor).

Oh this sounds fabulous. I'm going to try this tomorrow morning, I think I have all the ingredients. It kind of reminds me of that movie, "The Family Stone" (I think that was the name of it. You know the one, with Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane Keaton, etc...? Didn't she attempt to make a strata?
Gosh that looks delish! I may have to add that to my Christmas brunch menu. I'm adding it to my recipe folder on my computer now! xoxo
That sounds lovely it made me think of the movie "The Family Stone"
It looks super yummy. I can't wait to try and make it next weekend.
Thanks for sharing, looks yummy!
YUM! You are so right, Martha Stewart NEVER disappoints. xx

Oh, that sounds delicious! I usually go for sausage bread or for the sweet french toast casseroles when I'm baking, but this sounds wonderful. Filing away for church brunch ideas....
That recipe also reminds me of Family Stone! I definitely want to try it!
Yummy!! Sounds delish! Swiss and Cheddar are the perfect combo, I always use them in my quiches! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh yum! I'm on a total frittata kick right now but I might have to work this into the rotation!
