Directions

1 Melt butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook leeks in butter about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened; remove from heat.
2 Cut enough bread into 1-inch cubes to measure 5 cups. Mix bread cubes, leeks, chicken and dill weed. Spread bread mixture in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Sprinkle with cheese. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over cheese. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
3 Heat oven to 325°F. Uncover and bake 50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Looking like a monster green onion or scallion, the leek is a relative of the onion and garlic family. Its flavor, however, is somewhat milder than its cousins'.

When you're looking for a leek, choose one that has a crisp, bright green top and blemish-free white bulb.

This was my first strata and it will certainly not be my last. I found the recipe because I had a leek in my monthly CSA box and didn't really know what to do with it. The only things I changed were I used challah instead of french bread because it was on clearance after Passover and I used basil instead of dill because I had it fresh in my garden. So good re-heated.
