Amazing recipe. Everybody loved this recipe. I did make a couple changes based on my pantry. I used pepperjack cheese for the 1st layer and cheddar for the second layer. Will DEFINITELY make this again. Thanks.

I've made this recipe many times since it first appeared in Taste of Home and it never fails. It's perfect an elegant, no-fuss breakfast for overnight guests. I always use turkey ham.

This is wonderful. Next time I am going to try an all veggie-strata without cheese,
