How to Make Large Vegetable And Cheese Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large (9x13 inch) shallow baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, saute 1 medium onion, 2 scallions (chopped), and 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced) in 2 tbsp olive oil over moderately low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the onion is softened and all liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  3. In another large skillet, saute 1 bell pepper (any color, chopped) in 1 tbsp olive oil with salt and pepper to taste for 5-7 minutes, until tender.
  4. Combine the sauteed onions, scallions, mushrooms, and bell pepper in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Arrange half of 6 cups (12 slices) crusty bread, cubed, in the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the vegetable mixture evenly over the bread.
  6. Sprinkle half of 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and half of 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining bread cubes, vegetables, and cheeses.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, a dash of Tabasco sauce (or to taste), salt, and pepper to taste.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the strata.
  10. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  11. Let the strata stand at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before baking.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. If browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
