Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries will give your strata the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the strata tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the strata in a water bath. Baking the strata in a water bath will help to prevent it from drying out. To create a water bath, place the baking dish inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water.
- Let the strata cool slightly before serving. This will help the strata to set and make it easier to slice.
