How to Make Brie And Egg Strata

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1 medium potato (peeled and diced), and 1/2 bell pepper (chopped).
  3. Sauté for 4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes.
  5. Sauté for 2 minutes; stir in 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetable mixture with 6 cups cubed bread (challah or brioche recommended).
  7. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  8. Place half of the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle with 4 ounces brie cheese (sliced or crumbled).
  10. Top with the remaining bread mixture and the remaining brie.
  11. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs or equivalent egg substitute, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence, and a pinch of black pepper.
  12. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and brie.
  13. **Overnight Instructions (Optional):** Cover the assembled strata and refrigerate overnight. Refrigerate the egg mixture separately. In the morning, pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture before proceeding to step 14.
  14. Let the strata stand at room temperature for 30 minutes (or longer if refrigerated overnight).
  15. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  16. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the strata is set and golden brown.
  17. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped).
  18. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
