For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach. Use a good quality sourdough bread for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or Fontina. The strata can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. Just be sure to keep it refrigerated until ready to bake.

Follow The Directions
01
StepLightly grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepArrange the sourdough bread slices in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared dish, tearing or trimming to fit as needed to cover the surface. Distribute 1 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the bread, followed by the diced sweet onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and crumbled bacon, layering each ingredient. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, dry mustard, herb seasoning blend, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined and smooth. Gently pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and vegetable layers, ensuring the bread is well-soaked. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepCover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to fully absorb the egg mixture. (Rest time: 8 hours minimum)
05
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)
06
StepRemove the strata from the refrigerator and uncover. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the strata is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. (Bake time: 45 minutes)
07
StepSprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the strata and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (Bake time: 10-15 minutes)
08
StepRemove the strata from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the strata to set further and makes it easier to cut. (Rest time: 5 minutes)
