How to Make Vegetable Strata
- Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C).
- Butter an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Cut 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of crusty bread into 1-inch cubes. Evenly distribute the bread cubes in the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bread.
- In a large bowl, toss together 1 cup chopped broccoli florets, ½ cup chopped bell peppers (any color), ½ cup chopped mushrooms, and ¼ cup chopped onion.
- Distribute the vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon salt. Pour this custard evenly over the vegetables and bread.
- Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried basil and freshly ground black pepper to taste over the strata before baking.
- Place the baking pan inside a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the smaller baking pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
