The strata was a little dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or cream next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and very easy to make.

This strata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and very easy to make.

This strata was delicious! The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the strata was so fluffy and cheesy. I loved that it was make-ahead, so I could just pop it in the oven in the morning and have a hot breakfast ready in no time.
