How to Make Asparagus Cheese Strata
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups cubed day-old bread, 1 cup chopped asparagus, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend), and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently to combine. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Place the uncovered baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the strata rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting into 6 rectangles.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or a side salad.
