Ham, zucchini, mushrooms and cheese flavor this rich, hearty egg dish. It adds appeal to a breakfast or lunch buffet and cuts easily, too. Make sure you bring the recipe—everyone will want it! —Arlene Butler, Ogden, Utah

I haven't made it yet, but am very much looking forward to it. I'm confident it will be delicious. I was wondering if I could make it the night before. An answer ASAP would be great!

I added some guoda cheese on top and mozzarella cheese inside. I used milk instead of half and half. I made 1/2 of the recipe and it served 7-8 people.

This strata turned out great! I split the recipe in half and baked it in a 9x9 inch pan. My husband and brothers loved it with salsa.
