Ingredients

  • 7 cups lightly packed 1-inch cubes French bread (8 oz)
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 2 cups chopped roma (plum) tomatoes (6 medium)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 slices bacon

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spread bread in baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese; mix lightly with bread. Sprinkle with tomatoes.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, mustard, basil and salt with fork or wire whisk; pour over bread mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • 3
    Heat oven to 350°F. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp; drain on paper towel.
  • 4
    Crumble bacon. Sprinkle bacon and remaining 1/2 cup cheese over strata. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Roma tomatoes aren’t as juicy as regular slicing tomatoes, but they hold their shape better during baking and cooking.
  • tip 2
    For a holiday brunch, serve this breakfast casserole with sliced quick breads and a citrus fruit salad sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.
  • tip 3
    Instead of sprinkling with shredded cheese, arrange star-shaped cheese cutouts on top of the strata.
