  • Kitchen Tips

    Serve Basil Breakfast Strata and the Kielbasa Kabobs together. Both can go in the oven together; they each bake for the same amount of time.

Ingredients

  • 6  eggs
  • 3 1/2  cups milk
  • 1  teaspoon salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon pepper
  • 8  cups 1-inch cubes French bread
  • 2  cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/4  cup basil pesto
  • 1/2  cup grated Parmesan cheese (2 oz)

Directions

  1. 1Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk until foamy. Beat in milk until blended; beat in salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. 2Place bread cubes in baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Pour egg mixture over top, pressing lightly to moisten bread. Using spoon, swirl pesto through mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  3. 3Heat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap; bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until strata is puffed and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Cut into squares.
