I followed the recipe exactly, but my strata didn't turn out well. It was dry and bland.

I accidentally used too much salt. It was still edible, but it was a bit too salty for my taste.

I didn't have any fresh tomatoes, so I used canned tomatoes instead. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious.

This strata is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread in the freezer, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.
