Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 c milk
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 c maple syrup
1 large loaf of cinnamon swirl or cinnamon raisin swirl bread, buttered, crusts removed
5 oz cream cheese, cut in small cubes
warm maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2 1/2 quart casserole or 9x13 Pyrex pan.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine lightly beaten eggs, milk cinnamon and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
  • 3. Place a layer of buttered bread in the bottom of prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cream cheese. Repeat with another layer of bread. The shape of your pan decides how many layers you will make.
  • 4. Slowly pour egg mixture over top and sprinkle with remaining cream cheese cubes. Let stand one hour or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
  • 5. Set baking sheet on lowest rack of over to catch any drippings. Bake strata, uncovered, on middle shelf until top is nicely browned and bubbly. About 1 hour.
  • 6. Serve with warm maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the strata. A sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread will hold up well in the custard mixture.
  • If you don't have any raisins on hand, you can substitute dried cranberries, cherries, or blueberries.
  • To make a vegetarian strata, omit the bacon or sausage. You can also add in some chopped vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach.
  • For a sweeter strata, add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the custard mixture.
  • To make the strata ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of baking. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon raisin strata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish, give cinnamon raisin strata a try.
