Cheese and Vegetable Strata

Strata is Latin for layers and this baked casserole has layers of bread, vegetables, and cheese. From artichokes to zucchini, this is a no-waste recipe. Try it with different hearty breads, cheeses, raw, cooked, and frozen vegetables to use up what you have on hand. Cooking tips: • Harder vegetables such as peppers, onion, broccoli, and celery should be cooked before adding them to the milk mixture. • Try different cheeses to use what you have. Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, or cottage cheese work well. • Firm or stale breads are preferred because soft breads become mushy. Bagels, sourdough, baguettes, or ciabatta are good choices.
