How to Make Mediterranean Cheese Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Lightly butter a 24cm (9.5-inch) pie plate.
  3. Place 100g sun-dried tomatoes on a paper towel and pat to dry excess oil.
  4. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes in half.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp dried basil, salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir in 150g crumbled feta cheese and 100g grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Add 400g cubed day-old bread (about 6 cups) and stir gently until the bread is evenly moistened. Let it sit for 5 minutes, pressing down occasionally to ensure the bread absorbs the custard.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie plate and spread evenly.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
  11. Serve warm with a fresh mesclun salad.
