Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup olive oil
8 cups 1-inch cubes sourdough bread, crusts trimmed
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
12 ounces smoked ham, chopped
3 6 1/2-ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained, halved lengthwise (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup (packed) grated Fontina cheese

This strata was a little too eggy for my taste. I think I would use less eggs next time.

I added some chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to my strata. It was a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

I used gluten-free bread and it turned out great! This strata is a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

This is the perfect make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish. It's easy to assemble and can be baked the night before. Plus, it's delicious!

I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese, but this strata changed my mind! The flavors all worked so well together and the strata was so fluffy and moist.

This strata was a hit at our brunch! I used a combination of goat cheese and feta, and added some fresh thyme. It was so flavorful and the ham added a nice smoky touch.
