BERRY STRATA



Berry Strata image

I was watching Giada today on the food network and she whipped this up. It looked very good and pretty easy. On the episode she used only ricotta cheese and mixed berries and she warmed up the honey with 2 tbsp of butter. As I don't care for cooked strawberries I have changed the recipe to refect that. You can also use any bread that suits your fancy just make sure it is day old or at least a bit on the dry side.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the strata tough. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Use a variety of berries: Using a variety of berries will give the strata a more complex flavor and color.
  • Bake until the strata is puffed and golden brown: The strata is done baking when it is puffed and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the strata cool for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the strata to set and make it easier to slice.
