Tips:

  • Use fresh bread for a better texture and flavor. You can use any type of bread you like, but a firm bread like sourdough or French bread works best.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the strata tough.
  • Use a baking dish that is at least 9x13 inches. A larger baking dish will make the strata too thin.
  • Bake the strata until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the strata cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon raisin cream cheese strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast casserole. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weekend brunch. With its sweet and savory flavors, this strata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
