My friend Jane made served this on Sunday am. She had done most of the prep work ahead of time, then a quick pull together on Sunday morning. It was really flavorful and now on my list of do ahead, overnight brunch recipes!
Her fun story is that she rec'd the recipe from the wickwood's inn owned by Julee Rosso. They had a fun visit there many years ago; and the chef shared the recipe. As you will note, from the way the recipe is spelled out, it was the chef talking, and my friend taking down her notes!
Not only was the strata delicious, but made me smile hearing about their story at the inn!
