    Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover baking dish; bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

  • Sensational on many counts, this strata is a great way to get whole grains--it comes from the bread. It's a super do-ahead breakfast or dinner, and it's so delicious and pretty, folks or guests will ask for more!
