Mother’s Day Strata

The convenience of assembling the strata the night before makes breakfast or brunch an easier hot meal to serve. You can also divide and assemble the strata among ramekins and serve individually. This dish is a universal favorite with kids and can be doubled easily for a family gathering.

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers. Cover the strata with foil and place in the refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serves 4 - 6
