Monte Cristo strata from Food & Wine Magazine, December 2012 (page 158) by Grace Parisi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • babyfork on January 07, 2021

    I made this late on Christmas Eve for Christmas morning brunch. Unfortunately, I decided to halve the recipe, but instead of just doing that I found an article on Epicurious that gave the ratio of bread to milk/eggs for making strata. And there was a mistake in the article and I didn't realize it until it was too late. So I added 2 cups of milk and 2 cups of eggs to 4 cups of dried out bread. But it should've been 1 cup milk and 1 cup eggs to 4 cups of bread I think. Anyway, it came out very liquidy. We drained it and it was very tasty. (Sammy had the leftovers for a few mornings so I know she liked it anyway!) But it would have been really great without the mistake. I would definitely try making it again!

    A huge hit at the office brunch. The recipe calls for "bakery white bread" - it definitely needs a sturdy variety.
