How to Make Tomato Basil And Cheese Strata
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x12 inch casserole dish with butter.
- Arrange 6 cups (approximately 12 slices) cubed day-old bread in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the bread evenly with 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until light and foamy.
- Add 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and bread.
- Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes, and 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves.
- Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Let the strata sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
