I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my strata turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much milk.

This was the worst strata I've ever had. It was dry, bland, and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I would not recommend this recipe. The strata was not cooked evenly and the flavors were not well-balanced.

I thought this strata was just okay. It was a bit too salty for my taste.

This strata was okay, but I've had better. I think it could have used more vegetables.

I was disappointed with this strata. It was dry and bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This strata was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less eggs and more cheese.

I've never made a strata before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The strata was light and fluffy, with a cheesy, savory flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This strata was easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and added some chopped ham and onions. It was a great way to use up leftover bread.

This was a great recipe! I made it for brunch and it was a hit. The strata was fluffy and flavorful, and the cheese was gooey and melted. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this strata several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that it's so versatile - you can add any kind of cheese, meat, or vegetables you like. It's also a great way to use up leftover bread.

This strata was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had a delicious, savory flavor. I used a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, and added some chopped broccoli and ham. It was a great way to use up leftover bread.
