Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your strata. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini.
Don't overmix the egg mixture. Overmixing can make the strata tough.
Bake the strata in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. A water bath is a pan filled with hot water that is placed on the bottom rack of the oven.
Let the strata cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut.
