I made this strata for my family and they all loved it! The chorizo added a nice smoky flavor and the cheese was melted and gooey. The eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This strata was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! The cheese was melted and gooey and the eggs were fluffy. I think I would use a milder chorizo next time.

This strata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time. The cheese was melted and gooey, but the eggs were a bit dry. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.
