Mushroom Strata with Chef Frank

If you haven't tried a Strata you have to make this. Basically a savory bread pudding a strata lends itself to tons or creativity. I am using an amazing cheese from our sponsor and some really nice sherry, but feel free to go crazy and make your own take on this recipe.

This is a great dish for the holidays! For breakfast, as a side or as a main. It you can make it the night before, let it soak then bake it in the morning. It also reheats well. Enjoy!

Looks delicious, I really like the idea of pan searing it and topping with a runny egg too.

My family made a lot of Strata when I was growing up

Delicious! Nice to see German dairy products making it to the US. I added some dried mushrooms to the recipe, makes it even more mushroomy.

[thalstantrailwalker]

Frank this sounds scrumptious and something I would love to make….and Sherry adds a depth of flavor to enhance the dish……tks for posting this recipe……..👵🏻

Thank you this solves the dilemma of feeding my non meat eater for Thanksgiving. I just need to adjust for s single serving.

Yes Sir! Already have a vegetarian friend in the UK checking this out. I believe Champignon is still marketed as Cambozola in some parts. Great recipe!

Not a fan of 'shrooms but I enjoy a good strata. And watching Chef Frank!

[woodsbabe]

I've never heard of this type of bread pudding before!! Brilliant

[garryhammond]

I love mushrooms - (they highly underrated, and underused!) - Thanks Chef Frank! - Cheers!

[mousiebrown]

Hooray! Frank has a delicious meal for us!
(Never heard of strada, but it looks like a savory bread pudding! Lol!! Now I’m hungry!!!

Looks great as usual. Thank you. Would like to try it as a side for Thanksgiving but I will never find that particular cheese in time where we live. Would be helpful to know what a commonly available substitute would be. If one was mentioned I missed it.

Thank you, Chef Frank, for answering my question that I didn’t know I wanted to ask you. I appreciate how you read my mind, you Jedi 😏

[robwilliams]

Are cremini mushrooms the same as UK chestnut mushrooms? they look similar but you never know.

[gerardacronin]

If this is a strata, why does it have no layers? I can see why a lasagne is a strata, but this looks like casserole. And as it contains enormous amounts of butter and cream, I won’t be making it.
