MUSHROOM AND THREE-CHEESE STRATA
When Wonder Bread hit the market in Indianapolis in 1921, it truly was a wonder: The loaves were larger than the ones Americans were accustomed to, and the revolutionary plastic packaging and addition of preservatives prolonged the bread's shelf life. In 1930, pre-sliced loaves became available, changing the world of sandwiches forever. Sliced Wonder Bread is also great in this strata; its spongy texture is perfect for soaking up the eggs and milk.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.
- Combine bread and milk in large bowl. Let stand until milk is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Whisk half and half and next 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Stir in goat cheese.
- Place half of bread mixture in single layer in prepared glass baking dish (bread will not cover bottom of baking dish). Top with half each of mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, Fontina cheese, and half and half mixture. Repeat layering with remaining bread, mushrooms, Parmesan and Fontina cheeses, and half and half mixture. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Bake strata uncovered until firm in center, puffed and golden, about 1 hour.

[email protected]This was a disaster! The strata was dry and crumbly, and the cheese was rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]This was a great make-ahead breakfast for a busy morning. I assembled it the night before and popped it in the oven in the morning. It was so easy and delicious!

[email protected]This strata was amazing! I used a combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses, and it was so flavorful. The mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor, and the bread cubes soaked up all of the delicious cheese and egg mixture. I will defini
