How to Make Peppy Egg Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with butter and then lightly coat with nonstick vegetable spray.
  3. Arrange 6-8 slices of bread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a single layer.
  4. Layer 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon evenly over the bread.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until light and frothy.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and bacon layer in the baking dish.
  7. Let the strata sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the strata cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
