I'm not a fan of chorizo, but I loved this strata. The tomatoes and cheese were the perfect complement to the bread.

The strata was a little dry. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

This strata was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I used a different type of bread than the recipe called for and it turned out great. I think this recipe is very versatile and you could use any type of bread or vegetables that you like.

This was a great make-ahead breakfast for a busy morning. I prepped it the night before and just popped it in the oven in the morning. It was so easy and delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of strata, but this recipe changed my mind. The chorizo and tomatoes added so much flavor and the bread was perfectly crispy on top. I'll definitely be making this again.

This chorizo tomato strata was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was so fluffy and moist. I will definitely be making this again.
